Deputies in Coweta County, Georgia say an armed off-duty employee stopped a possible mass shooting at a bar on Saturday.
FOX 5 Atlanta reports that Kevintez Mathewis was on his way into the bar with a handgun when Ben McCoy confronted him and was shot multiple times. McCoy drew the gunman's attention and then drew his fire.
Deputies say the security footage also shows Mathewis being ejected from the bar and earlier when security there had confronted him numerous times about his behavior Saturday morning.
Mathewis is seen on video repeatedly trying to get back into the bar and repeatedly security turning him away. Deputies say McCoy became concerned by Mathewis' warnings that he was going to return and shoot up the bar. They say this video shows McCoy placing a small-caliber rifle in from the back of his SUV into the back seat.
It appears that McCoy say something and Mathewis responds by opening fire at McCoy.
27 year-old Mathewis was caught by police and arrested. He is charged him with aggravated assault.
McCoy was shot multiple times and has undergone surgery for his injuries.
Deputies credit McCoy with stopping what could have been a mass shooting inside the bar.
