00:02:56,141 And confront him. 53 00:02:56,143 --> 00:02:59,970 Guy made the decision to grab his gun from the car. 54 00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,984 Guy's worst fears were realized because he saw anthony sutton 55 00:03:14,144 --> 00:03:16,153 Walk directly towards him. 56 00:03:19,166 --> 00:03:22,659 Guy thought he was approaching in a threatening manner, 57 00:03:23,454 --> 00:03:25,687 Guy

thinks a black object is removed. 64 00:03:47,010 --> 00:03:49,861 Guy felt he had no choice. 65 00:03:49,863 --> 00:03:51,188 It's either kill or be killed. 66 00:03:52,416 --> 00:03:55,433 Guy,

The security guard literally heard anthony sutton say 79 00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,628 "I'm gonna go to my trunk and get mine." 80 00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:41,822 I think he was gonna get his gun. 81 00:04:44,609 --> 00:04:46,827 Guy used lethal force, 82 00:04:46,945 --> 00:04:48,436 Because if he didn't, 83 00:04:48,497 --> 00:04:51,290 We believe he would have been dead. 84 00:05:10,894 --> 00:05:15,597 Guy: To be accused of this crime is crazy. 85 00:05:15,715 --> 00:05:16,798 I never thought I would have been 86 00:05:16,859 --> 00:05:19,358 In a situation like this. 87 00:05:19,360
