spotting the perp after the victim does and carrying your gun in a bag when being the only body guard… not very wise. maybe when you're the 3rd or 4th backup guard you can have your gun in a bag, but not in this instance. also, the victim probably got a guard because he felt threatened before… stupidity all over.
There are Kevlar carry bags. There are shoulder holsters. There is light (under cloths) body armor. This person knew he was a possible target of gun violence. Obviously the bodyguard knew the same.
Multiple preventable failures, and the result is someone dead and another seriously injured.
Remember kids "A gun in a bag is worth two piles of shit in a bush"
This is a weird question and pertains to an entrance wound, without an exit wound but has anyone ever self applied a chest seal?
Off to the world of Wally to purchase a huge roll of clear, sticky, industrial strength packing tape to throw in a bag containing a few industrial sized Kotex, tampons and two tourniquets : )
One bodyguard is to push away your fans and open doors for you. Make you look cool like Justin Bieber! 2 bodyguards is above plus a personal assistant to locate call girls and make reservations and drive you around. 3 guards is all of above plus a bit of security. 4 guards is an anti assassination team plus the perks of the 3 above!
All went down in 6 seconds and here he is struggling to get his gun out of his bag. Surprised he even had a round chambered because he was afraid he'd shoot himself. Good job, fucknuts.
thug shot the target, shoots and side steps as the body guard falls to the ground where thug had been, then thug moves over the shoot, again, prostrate target a 2nd time. Dead guy really should get his money back.
I know you recommend unarmed people launch at perps with guns a lot if they're within a close distance – but I think running away is better if you're already out of arms reach. There's a lot of videos of people trying to stop them by grabbing the weapon in a strength fight – unless you know how to disarm/grapple/throw somebody, I don't recommend bothering with unarmed fighting against an armed attacker, pretty much ever. Plus, they can backstep or have their own martial arts skills to counter your attempts (violent tendencies already, it's more likely than not that they know how to fight at least somewhat). You're better off fleeing in serpentine formation and buying time/possibly escaping uninjured instead. Obviously, if you're a paid guard – you need to be ready for shit like this, though – as it's your duty to protect in these cases. Have to commend him for trying, but the back step by the perp could have been a fatal blow instead of a serious injury – this is one of the ones where it's on the verge of attacking or fleeing being the right move. Hindsight is 20-20, but he should have moved away and drawn his weapon instead of charging – and feigned like he's just a pedestrian instead of looking like a threat. You have to set up a counter-ambush – not charge into them with their eyes wide open.
You said that the body guard is not very aware here but honestly, what could he have done differently in this situation? The assassin approached from behind.
I worked as a bodyguard after leaving the army, we did threat assesments on the protectee. If there was a threat of assination you would not have one bodyguard you would have at least 2 so that one person deals with the threat to nutralize them and the other person gets the protectee out of the danger zone. this looks to me like he was not profesional bodyguard at all. Just because you might have police or army training doesnt mean you can be a bodyguard. bodyguading someone that has a threat to life takes a lot of training. however no one is 100% safe even presidential protectees have died and they have lots of money to be protected by the best.

People think I am paranoid, when I try to always keep aware of all things going on around me. Always aware of environment, driving or on foot.
Bodyguard did manage to kill the assasin, there is a picture of him dead on a streetcorner somewhere. Not completely useless it seems.
The 'bodyguard' was on his fucking cell phone while the assassin was creeping from behind. Classic.
When you lie in your application and get the job
bodyguard should have been looking behind more
Too bad he died before he could fire him.
If i was someones body guard i would be behind the person i was guarding. Most threats come from behind.
Was he doing business with the Clintons?

John did you lose some weight?
Hmm I wonder if vests would've saved them or at least one of them.
You put body carry in the title, did you mean to put bag carry in the title?

Strolling around the streets with 1 bodyguard in a world with guns is just stupidly useless.
No bullet clothing or at least a vest and bag carry👎
That guy looks like he was a professional assassin , he has done this before.
