Police in Oregon say that an intoxicated man entered a bar with a shotgun and was quickly disarmed and stopped by quick thinking bar patrons.
The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office says deputies were called to the Skyland Pub in Troutdale, Oregon on Thursday night and found that a visibly intoxicated man had entered the bar with a shotgun and was quickly confronted by two customers, Oregon’s Fox 8 News reported.
Police say the two patrons were successfully able to disarm the man and stop him by grabbing the shotgun and hitting him in the face with it.
Other patrons helped tackle the man while others filed outside.
