ANTIOCH, Calif. (KGO) -- A security guard was caught in the crossfire Wednesday during a shooting in front of a Starbucks. It happened in Antioch on "A" Street. ABC7 News spoke to that security guard who fired back.
Security guard Linzy Gordon, Sr. told ABC7 News, "I was called to deal with some individuals on our 'no trespass' list at the Starbucks."
Gordon was about to confront the those two people when a man on a bike began firing at them from a nearby bus stop. Gordon was in the middle.
He said, "The guy pointed it toward me and I exchanged gunfire. I fired one shot. I don't know how many he fired, and I took a round in the arm."
The slug traveled up his arm and lodged itself in his back. Gordon spoke to us from the hospital where he is in stable condition. The 41-year-old owner of Diablo Valley Patrol security company says police investigated the house across the street and arrested the shooter.
Police believe he was associated with the same people who exchanged gunfire on Sunday. A woman and her dog were wounded when they got caught in the crossfire just down the street about 50 yards from Wednesday's incident.
Witness Rafael Scott said, "She was kind of stooped or sitting down, and the dog was lying down on the pavement. So you figure the dog got caught up in the shooting also."
Gordon says there was another shooting at the same Starbucks last month.
Gordon said, "They don't scare me. They're not going to scare me away. It's my job. It's what I do."
He says he'll be back on the job just as soon as he's ready.
