Moment Security Guard Blasts Man With Shotgun After He Swiped Cap Off His Head

This is the moment a Paraguayan security guard blasts a man in the abdomen with a 12-gauge shotgun after he knocked his baseball cap off his head.

The incident was filmed by a CCTV camera in the city of Pedro Juan Caballero in the Paraguayan department of Amambay on the afternoon of 30th September.

The 53-year-old security guard, identified as Rafael Robles Torres, has been arrested for shooting and killing the 32-year-old victim, named as Paraguayan salesman Fabian Fernando Franco, with a 12-calibre shotgun, according to the news site Aonca.

The suspect reportedly told the police that the shooting was accidental.

Local media said the victim was a troublesome citizen who was suspected of several crimes in the Paraguayan department.

The suspect, a security guard for a private company, remained at the scene until the police arrived.

Meanwhile, reports said the victim died in a pool of blood on the pavement shortly after the shooting.

The security guard was taken to the municipal police station as an investigation was launched into the incident.

The victim’s body has since been handed over to his sister for burial, according to reports.

In the CCTV footage, Fabian is seen swiping the security guard’s baseball cap from his head on the pavement as he passes by.

The suspect brandishes his shotgun at the man as he follows closely behind.

The guard hits Fabian’s back with the shotgun and the pair exchanges a few words on the pavement as another security guard looks on.

Fabian throws a punch at the gun-wielding guard and a struggle ensues.

The other guard intervenes and separates the pair, however the guard apparently loads the weapon and shoots the victim in the abdomen area.

Seemingly hurt, the victim holds his midriff a moment before walking off screen.
