A quick-thinking store employee in Wabasso, Florida turned the tables on an armed man who stormed into her workplace and started making violent threats. The dramatic confrontation ended with the clerk wrestling the suspect’s gun away and holding him until deputies arrived.
According to investigators, the suspect — later identified as Calvert Allen — entered Wabasso Foods carrying a gun and ordering people to leave the store. Witnesses say he threatened to kill a woman before forcing her back inside, creating a tense and dangerous standoff.
That’s when the store clerk, decided to act. She retrieved her own handgun from her purse, confronted the armed man, and forced him outside.
Once in the parking lot, the situation escalated even further. The employee fired two warning shots into the air to stop Allen’s advance, then physically overpowered him. During the struggle, she managed to grab the suspect’s gun, strike him with her own weapon, and successfully disarm him before deputies arrived on the scene.
Despite the chaos, no injuries were reported. The store worker later told authorities that she carries a concealed weapon regularly for protection — a decision that may have saved lives.
