SOURCE – A bloodbath at a Texas McDonalds was narrowly avoided when the thief’s gun jammed twice.
Davage Armstrong and his young son were getting food from a McDonald’s in Fort Worth on Tuesday night when a gunman, Jestin Joseph, rushed in and demanded money from customers and workers.
Footage from the incident was broadcast on local WFAA-TV.
Armstrong and the Joseph tussled, and the gunman raised his pistol and tried to shoot, the footage shows.
But the weapon wouldn’t fire.
“I could hear the gun clicking… he was pulling the trigger,” Armstrong told WFAA-TV.
Joseph removed the clip, jammed it back in and ran outside.
He fired a single shot in the air and then returned to the McDonalds, the footage showed.
Once inside, he tried to open fire, but the gun jammed again.
Armstrong told WFAA-TV, “[HE WAS] pulling the trigger towards me, but still, just clicking.”
Joseph left the restaurant, and was eventually arrested.
In a jailhouse interview with WFAA-TV, he said he snapped after a tense encounter with someone that night.
The gun belonged to an ex-girlfriend, he said.
“I’m not proud of what I did, but at the same time, I really feel like someone was after me,” Joseph said.
He was charged with five counts of aggravated assault and being held on $500,000 bond.
Armstrong told the station he felt as though God was watching over him that night.
“That’s all it could have been, an angel over me,” he said.

FORT WORTH — A 13-year-old Fort Worth boy confessed to killing his 5-year-old neighbor by hitting him twice in the head with a bowling ball, according to allegations detailed in a detention hearing Friday.
The teen made the statement about the death of Sida Osman after people found him crying, according to a summary of the case against the teen read by a county employee during the hearing.
Associate Judge Kim Brown ordered that the teen remain in custody and said she will appoint him an attorney today.
The suspect, who is not being identified because he is a juvenile, wore handcuffs shackled to a belt around his waist during the morning hearing. Dressed in a tan jumpsuit issued to juvenile defendants, the teen showed little emotion as he stood before the judge.
