Security guard fatally shoots male who held gun to his head, threatened to kill him; prosecutors say guard won't be charged



A security guard fatally shot a male who held a gun to his the back of his head and threatened to kill him two months ago in Aurora, Colorado — and prosecutors on Monday said the guard acted in self-defense and won't be charged, KUSA-TV reported.

Police responded about 9 p.m. Aug. 31 to a report of a shooting outside a 7-Eleven in the 12000 block of East Colfax, the station said.

'He did his job, and he defended himself in the process.'

Prosecutors said Vernon Dorsey approached the guard, who was walking in front of the store, and placed a handgun to the back of the guard's head, KUSA said. Dorsey ordered the guard to hand over his gun and threatened to kill him, the station added.

KUSA said Dorsey and the guard fought as Dorsey attempted to disarm the guard.

But instead, the guard got hold of his own gun and shot Dorsey in the chest, KUSA said.

When officers arrived, they found Dorsey with a gunshot wound, the station said, adding that Dorsey later died. Dorsey was 36 years old, KUSA said in an earlier story.

The District Attorney’s Office and the Aurora Police Department agreed after reviewing evidence that the guard fired his weapon in self-defense and was legally justified, KUSA said.

Anything else?

The station said the guard was taken to police headquarters and questioned and that police at the time believed the guard was acting in self-defense.

The private company that supplies the guards for 7-Eleven — Iron Spear Protection Group LLC — said in a statement at the time that it's backing the guard in question with "absolute certainty" after reviewing the incident, KUSA reported.

Iron Spear's president stated at the time of the incident that the guard was in good condition and with his family, the station added.

How are observers reacting?

Commenters under KUSA's Facebook post about the incident were solidly behind the guard's actions:

  • "Good work, sir, here is a raise," one commenter said.
  • Good," another user added. "He did his job, and he defended himself in the process."
  • "Happy ending feel-good story!!!" another commenter exclaimed.

Thug allegedly stabs to death Macy's security guard — just minutes after guard caught him trying to steal hats and let him go



A suspect with a lengthy criminal history allegedly stabbed to death a Philadelphia Macy's security guard on Monday — just minutes after the guard caught him trying to steal hats and let him go.

Image source: YouTube screenshot

What are the details?

Police sources told WPVI-TV store security stopped 30-year-old Tyrone Tunnell from trying to steal several hats.

The security guard who stopped Tunnell — 27-year-old Eric Harrison, according to family members — retrieved the hats and sent Tunnell on his way, the station said.

But WPVI said Tunnell came back about 15 minutes later and fatally stabbed Harrison.

Another guard whom police identified as a 23-year-old man intervened and suffered wounds to his face and arm, the station said.

Tunnell soon was arrested at the Somerset train station in the Kensington section of the city, WPVI said, adding that police said witnesses positively identified him.

The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office on Tuesday approved a murder charge against the suspect, along with other charges, the station said.

WPVI said authorities haven't officially named the charged individual.

Court documents indicate Tunnell has been arrested more than a dozen times for retail theft, robbery, and drug offenses across the region, including in Philadelphia as well as suburban Bucks, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties, the station said.

Victim's mother speaks out

Harrison's mother, Dawn Fobbs, told WPVI in a separate story that her son was her best friend.

"Just why? Why my baby?" Fobbs wondered in an interview with the station.

Image source: YouTube screenshot

"It couldn't happen to a more innocent soul," she added to WPVI. "Just at work doing your job, you know, his second job at that."

The station said Harrison first worked overnight at the post office then went to Macy's where he'd worked as a security guard for two years.

Harrison's mother also works retail as a store manager, WPVI said, adding that she understands certain risks are involved — but that this crime was senseless.

"Over some merchandise, you came in and took my baby's life," Fobbs told the station. "He will never have children, he will never get married. All because of some hats."

WPVI added that she described her son as a Frankford High School graduate and a Philly kid through and through who leaves behind three younger sisters.

"Just pray for strength for my family because that's what we need," Fobbs noted the station, adding that she appreciates her son's fellow security guard who stepped in and tried to help him.

Court won't try hospital guards who pinned down a sick woman for not wearing a mask then wheeled away her lifeless body. The victim's sister speaks out.



Across the purportedly free world, the pandemic exposed certain institutions' and individuals' eagerness to coerce and dehumanize those with whom they may have peacefully interacted before the advent of COVID-19. Nowhere was that exposition more brazen than in Canada.

The Trudeau government considered deploying war machines against peaceful protesters. At least one province mulled the possibility of preventing the unvaccinated from shopping for groceries. Pastors were reportedly arrested for holding outdoor church services.

The brutal death of Danielle Stephanie Warriner at Toronto General Hospital in May 2020 stands out as an example of what heinous behavior some people apparently felt was excusable on account of the pandemic.

Not only was Warriner allegedly killed over not properly wearing her mask, but a judge recently decided that those initially charged with manslaughter over her killing won't be tried.

To add insult to injury, the individual who admitted to intentionally panning the security camera away as the incident unfolded is reportedly still employed as a security guard.

The victim's sister, Denise Warriner, spoke to TheBlaze about this tragedy, the court's decision, and the legal action that her family is now taking in hopes of holding those allegedly responsible to account and ensuring something similarly egregious won't happen to another family.

What's the background?

Warriner was a mother of five children who had been diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Afflicted with shortness of breath, she also suffered from both bipolar disorder and PTSD.

On account of a recurring cough, she was admitted to Toronto General Hospital, part of the University Health Network. The 43-year-old reportedly left her hospital room via wheelchair sometime after her admission in hopes of getting a sandwich.

Although Warriner tested negative for COVID-19, hospital staff noticed that her mask had slipped down around her neck as she endeavored to find nourishment.

Court documents indicate that hospital staff (i.e., a COVID screener) radioed security, "advising them of this missing patient who was to be found and returned to the Covid floor."

A gang of Toronto General Hospital security guards mobbed Warriner, prompting her to put her mask on.

While the guards, including 42-year-old Amanda Rojas-Silva and 35-year-old Shane Hutley, dressed themselves in personal protective equipment in the company of guards Andrew Li and James Rouse, Warriner demanded to leave the hospital.

She had, after all, come to the hospital voluntarily.

The ensuing confrontation was captured on video; however, the security camera was conveniently and intentionally turned away as the hulking security guards approached Warriner.

The legal complaint recently filed by the victim's family alleges, "The security guards were aware that Stephanie was suffering from mental health issues. Instead of accommodating her illness, the security guards chose to yell at, demean, and berate Stephanie."

Denise Warriner, the victim's sister, told TheBlaze that it was abundantly clear from the video, when coupled with the additional understanding about the victim's medical history, that Stephanie wasn't able to breathe.

"Anyone who had any common sense and vision ... would have been able to discern that she was physically unwell," said Denise. "You couple that with the context that she's in a hospital and she's in a hospital gown."

Court documents suggested that Rojas-Silva might have subsequently assaulted Warriner, coercively forcing the mask over the victim's face. In response, Stephanie, who repeatedly emphasized she had troubles breathing, allegedly swatted the guard's hand out of the way.

Denise suggested that her sister had behaved as anybody "overwhelmed with an inability to breathe" would have if confronted by "people angrily directing that [they] do something to make that even more challenging."

"What you see in the [security camera footage] is that Stephanie was attempting to flee," added Denise.

Despite the victim's visible respiratory distress and defensive posturing, Rojas-Silva reportedly pushed her into a nearby wall and was soon joined by at least one other guard.

"There is an available inference that Ms. Rojas-Silva had one hand on Ms. Warriner’s upper back or shoulder area and her other hand on Ms. Warriner’s right arm for some or all of this phase of the interaction," said the court documents.

The guards reportedly pinned the 125-pound mother of five against a wall and then tackled her to the ground, even though the hospital forbids the use of force except in "extreme emergencies," such as in self-defense.

Court documents made clear that "Ms. Warriner was considerably smaller and slighter than Mr. Hutley and, while of a roughly similar height as Ms. Rojas-Silva, she was visibly slighter."

Denise emphasized that her sister was small and frail.

Even Rojas-Silvas' supervisor acknowledged that the guard's actions were wrong, reported Canadian state media.

The guards' supervisor testified that they were trained with the understanding that, "There is a risk of positional restraint asphyxia due to the person's body weight pressing down on their chest and the fact that the patient cannot support herself when her hands are handcuffed behind her back."

Denise noted that two of the guards also benefitted from relevant enhanced training, having been auxiliary officers for York Regional and Durham Regional police.

Training apparently had to be discounted. After all, this woman with breathing issues hadn't been wearing her mask properly.

Witnesses claimed that Warriner flailed and cried out as Rojas-Silva and Hutley — both of whom court documents noted "had an overwhelming advantage in strength over Ms. Warriner" — held her against her will and ultimately handcuffed her.

While Ontario's so-called Superior Court of Justice would not acknowledge the possibility that the guards applied pressure to the victim's upper body, it conceded, "There is medical evidence from which it can be inferred that being in the prone position can interfere with the ability to breathe normally and that the added factor of having arms behind the back being handcuffed and/or being face down for a period of time could further interfere with the ability to breathe normally."

The family's lawsuit alleges the guards had in fact applied pressure to the victim's back after she had been thrown to the ground, and that, "As a result of this restraint of Stephanie by security guards at [Toronto General Hospital], Stephanie went into cardiac arrest, and ultimately died twelve days later, on May 27, 2020."

The family noted that the hospital failed to contact them until 11 days after Stephanie suffered her post-attack cardiac arrest.

Damning footage

Security footage appears to show the guards berate the victim and then bash her against a wall. The camera pans away, hiding what happened next.

Kyle Bryson, the guard who concealed his compatriots' actions, said in a preliminary court hearing that he had done so because he "panicked" and "got really anxious."

"I think that this security guard was complicit in tampering with evidence to cover for his colleagues," said Denise Warriner. "There's a strong inference that he moved it to protect his team."

Bryson was allegedly able to keep his job.

Warriner's lifeless body can later be seen being wheeled away, feet limp and dragging behind the wheelchair. It appears as though her aggressors had successfully ensured that her unconscious face was masked:

After wheeling Warriner out of view of witnesses and the security camera, Rojas-Silva reportedly checked for a pulse. Failing to find one, she allegedly removed the victim's handcuffs, called "Code Blue," and resumed doing chest compressions.

Coroner Dr. Von Both found in his autopsy that the "immediate cause of death of Ms. Warriner was hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy or, in lay terms, a brain injury resulting from lack of oxygen."

Guards cut loose, case quashed

Rojas-Silva and Hutley were arrested in December 2020 and were each charged with two counts of criminal negligence causing death and one count of manslaughter.

Both guards reportedly lied that the victim had repeatedly assaulted them.

According to one court document, "Mr. Hutley went as far as to claim that Ms. Warriner delivered several overhand and underhand punches to Ms. Rojas-Silva's face and was kicking her feet," reported Canadian state media.

Hutley later admitted that he had lied, saying, "I would have never said the things I said in there if I knew there was a video."

Despite the seeming preponderance of evidence, on Nov. 22, 2022, Ontario judge Sean F. Dunphy, who previously specialized as a insolvency and restructuring lawyer, quashed the criminal case against the guards and struck the trial from the docket.

Dunphy claimed there wasn't enough evidence to take the case to trial after having thrown out the certified forensic pathologist's testimony, which implicated the guards in the killing.

The victim's sister suggested that extra to denying Stephanie possible justice, Dunphy has gifted every criminal defense lawyer who will henceforth attach themselves to this rendering to have future coroners' testimonies tossed out.

Seeking accountability on behalf of a fallen sister

"Regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum and regardless of where you stand concerning vaccinations or masks or hospitals, the response [to the video of the incident] has been consistent," said Denise. "This was a murder. This ought to have been presented to a jury."

"There's just been an incredible wave of support and equally of outrage and disgust. Globally, thousands of people cannot believe that this has gone unaccounted for," Denise said, noting that various social media postings of the video documenting the hospital attack have gone viral, netting millions of views.

The victim's family was sure that those allegedly responsible would at least go to trial. Dunphy's decision consequently proved as saddening as it was surprising.

Denise received a phone call the day of the decision from someone familiar with the matter while driving. The woman on the other end instructed Denise to pull over.

"I knew that something bad happened. When she explained everything to me, I remember distinctly feeling a significant wave of nausea. My ears were ringing. Everything was spinning. I honestly thought that I was extremely physically unwell," said Denise. "I couldn't believe what I was hearing."

While the Crown's decision was shocking, Stephanie Warriner's family had already been devastated by her death.

"Her one daughter succumbed to the trauma of this. Daisy Warner could not cope and I don't blame her," said Denise.

Daisy died on Nov. 28, 2021, having "turned to drugs to ease her pain" after her mother's death.

"There has been many, many days that have been really dark for me where, quite honestly, I've been hanging by a thread," said Denise. "The judge's decision just exacerbates preexisting emotional injury from what occurred at the hospital. It is layered trauma and injury. It really amounts to emotional abuse."

The judge's decision may not ultimately amount to absolution for the accused, however; for Warriner has a sister who "would never let up."

Prior to taking her sister off life support, Denise Warriner promised Stephanie that she would "get accountability and justice for her."

Denise underscored how the hospital security team was "absolutely responsible for instigating the cascade of events that occurred," resulting in the death of her sister, who deserves a hearing in a court of law; if not a criminal court, then at least a civil court.

Warriner's family has launched a $16 million (in Canadian dollars) lawsuit against the University Health Network and the five security guards reportedly involved in the victim's untimely demise, account for general damages, damages pursuant to the Ontario Human Rights Code, aggravated damages and punitive damages, plus interest.

"I'm seeking accountability," said Denise, noting that when systems and institutions fail to do right by the people, the people have to right these failed systems and institutions.

"That is my hope. It's my moral duty to ensure that no other family, no other person, is victimized in this manner."

Denise added, "I hope to send the message that you may have escaped a conviction, but the systems responsible are not going to escape liability."

The suit maintains that the guards are guilty of assault and battery, negligence, conspiracy, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and human rights abuses. Furthermore, it accuses the University Health Network of negligent supervision and holds it liable for the conduct of its security team.

Denise noted that Kevin Smith, president and CEO of the University Health Network, reportedly called her with a legalistic excuse disguised as an apology after Stephanie's death, saying, "Effectively, 'we're so sorry, but it was COVID. And we were understaffed. We were overwhelmed. We were, you know, we're really sorry, you know, but we hope that you can understand what was happening at the time.'"

When asked whether the mentality engendered in some people by the pandemic played a significant role in her sister's death, Denise suggested, "COVID hysteria definitely contributed."

"She wasn't hurting anybody. She wasn't destroying property. She wasn't stealing anything," said Denise. COVID paranoia "coupled with the use of force power" made for a "perfect storm."

Premier Doug Ford's office did not respond to media requests for comment.

The University Health Network did, however, respond to questions about whether the guards initially charged with manslaughter and the guard who adjusted the camera, saying, "UHN will not comment on a court's decision nor on matters of individual employment or discipline."

Armed carjacking crew in Philly set sights on wrong victim — a plainclothes security guard who doesn't hesitate to fire his own gun



An armed crew of Philadelphia carjackers sure picked the wrong victim earlier this week — a plainclothes security guard who didn't hesitate to pull his own gun and fire it when he sensed trouble.

While the security guard ended up wounded, and it isn't known if any of the assailants were hit, the would-be carjackers took off running, and their apparent plan was foiled.

What are the details?

The 43-year-old plainclothes guard tried to take his car to work before 10 p.m., but it wouldn't start, police told WPVI-TV. As he walked to his wife's car, police said four males approached, two moving in one direction and the other two in another direction, the station said.

Police told WPVI the security guard went for his gun, after which at least one of the suspects told him "don't do it."

At that point, an exchange of gunfire commenced between the guard and the would-be carjackers, the station said, adding that at least one of the suspects was armed.

During the shootout in the 300 block of Earlham Terrace in the Germantown neighborhood, police told WPVI the guard's gun malfunctioned; earlier police reports suggested the guard's gun was disabled after getting hit by gunfire, but the station said that wasn't the case.

What happened next?

Police told WPVI the guard was shot once in the left shoulder and grazed in the forehead, after which he was taken to an area hospital and listed in critical but stable condition. No other injuries were reported, the station added.

The guard's vehicle and another unattended parked vehicle were hit by gunfire, WPVI said.

Investigators are trying to track down four male suspects connected to the attack, the station reported, adding that authorities have obtained video they hope will help identify them.

'I still love it here'

Neighbors who heard the shootout are nervous, WPVI said.

"The gentleman is a nice person, and I'm really surprised this happened here," neighbor Robert Haz told the station.

"The violence is encroaching us so closely, it's scary, but I still love it here," resident Nancy Jackson added to WPVI.

Anyone with information can call police at 215-686-TIPS, the station said.

Chilling video shows moments before security guard shot dead from behind in broad daylight. Then people casually walk by body, go through pockets.



Atlanta police released a chilling surveillance video showing the moments before and after a security guard was fatally shot from behind in broad daylight Monday evening.

What are the details?

The security guard — 51-year-old Anthony Frazier — was fatally shot after exiting his SUV around 7 p.m. outside the American Wings and Seafood restaurant on Cleveland Avenue, WSB-TV reported.

Image source: YouTube screenshot

Video shows the suspected shooter going through the victim's pockets and then walking away.

After the suspect leaves the area, video shows a man who was sitting on a nearby curb when the shooting took place shaking his head while walking on the road past Frazier's body, which appeared to be face-down on the sidewalk. Investigators believe he saw and heard the fatal shooting, the station said.

Minutes later, three other people are seen walking up to Frazier's body; at least one of them also appears to go through his pockets.

Frazier's wallet, phone, and gun were stolen, WGCL-TV reported.

Police told WSB they're asking for the public's help in identifying the shooting suspect; they also want to identify other individuals seen in the video so they can be questioned, the station added.

'I’m angry and disgusted with the bystanders digging through his pockets'

Frazier's daughter told WGCL she's horrified by the surveillance video and couldn't sleep after seeing it.

“I can’t get the images out of my head,” a tearful Antonette Frazier told the station. “Oh my God, it changed me. They changed the way I feel. It changed the way I looked at things. I just don’t understand how somebody could be so cold."

She's also furious at the bystanders.

"I can\u2019t get the images out of my head. I\u2019m angry. My daddy was a good person."\n\nAntonette tells me her life is forever changed after watching video that shows the moments before and immediate aftermath of her father's murder.

— Zac Summers (@Zac Summers) 1650487638

“I’m angry at the people that stood by,” Antonette Frazier added to WGCL. “My daddy was a good person. I’m angry and disgusted with the bystanders digging through his pockets.”

Anthony Frazier had been a security guard for less than a month, the station said, adding that his daughter said he was mild-mannered, enjoyed cooking, and loved being a father to his three adult children.

“He was my best friend, and they took him away from me,” she added to WGCL.

Anything else?

The station asked Page Pate — a criminal defense attorney at Pate, Johnson & Church — if people are legally obligated to help injury victims. Pate told WGCL that while Georgia’s Good Samaritan law protects those who help render aid, helping isn't legally required.

“If you simply see someone who’s been injured, even if you watch it happen, there is no affirmative duty to provide assistance in that situation,” he added to the station.

Anyone with information on the identities of those seen in the video should contact 911 or Crime Stoppers Atlanta at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or online at www.StopCrimeATL.com, WGCL said. Callers don't have to give their names or any identifying information to be eligible for a reward of up to $2,000 for the arrest and indictment of the suspect, the station added.

Video: Shoplifters brazenly steal items off shelves at Walgreens in broad daylight as uniformed security guard just watches



Shoplifters were caught on cellphone video brazenly stealing items off shelves at a Walgreens as daytime customers — and a uniformed security guard — simply watched.

Libs of Tik Tok posted the clip to Twitter on Sunday and indicated the Walgreens in question is located in California's Bay Area:

Another Walgreens in the bay area in California is hit by a group of thievespic.twitter.com/Mhi2qQkTfq
— Libs of Tik Tok (@Libs of Tik Tok) 1645991469

The clip begins with a shot of three shoplifters in an aisle grabbing items off shelves equipped with hard plastic flaps — but the obstacles do little to deter the thieves, who are all wearing pink and grey jackets along with face masks.

Soon a security guard pops into the frame, but she does not approach the crew and instead stands at the end of the aisle, looking on. Someone — perhaps the security guard —apparently calls for help and requests, "I need an officer right now."

Undeterred, the crooks head to other aisles and add to the number of items in their bags as they rifle through shelves. In fact, one of the shoplifters is seen heading for the Walgreens' exit — but at the last second she decides to turn around and head to another shelf and add to her loot.

'Live from the San Francisco hellhole'

Libs of Tik Tok posted a second video Sunday showing two more shoplifters having their way in another drug store. While the clip is accompanied by text that reads, "Live from the San Francisco hellhole," the store in question isn't identified.

Similar to the first video, the masked duo here have their way in the aisle and grab items behind plastic covers at will. At one point, they both wrench open the covers, apparently breaking them, and make off with items in backpacks and plastic bags.

On their way out, one individual appears to try to trip one of them — but to no avail:

Anything else?

Readers of TheBlaze have seen their share of viral videos showing brazen, organized looting in the Bay Area and elsewhere in California. In December, San Francisco's far-left Mayor London Breed — who in 2020 jumped on the "defund the police" bandwagon after the death of George Floyd and proposed $120 million in cuts to police budgets over two years — made a headline-grabbing speech in which she called out the "bulls**t" crime "that has destroyed our city."

The crook ended up easily bicycling past the guard — who attempted to snag the bag to no avail — and exiting the store in broad daylight.

What are the details?

Lyanne Melendez, a KGO-TV reporter, was shopping in the store on her day off — and she's the one who recorded the above cellphone clip.

"That's when he sort of ran into me with his bicycle," Melendez told her station in the aftermath. KGO said she was not injured.

"It's hard for me as a journalist to say 'I won't be involved, I can't get involved,' I have to be sort of neutral, but this is also my city," Melendez added to her station. "I live in this city, and I see this constantly. Not only Walgreens, but cars, and my garage ... has been broken into twice."

Image source: KGO-TV video screenshot

The brazenness of such crimes is common these days, KGO said, and they're driving retailers out of the city. Indeed, the station said that while three people recorded video of the theft, it didn't deter the crook — who cruised down the aisle past the guard and got away with his entire haul on a Lyft bike.

TheBlaze reported about a similar theft at a San Francisco Walgreens last year involving a couple filling up backpacks with store items as an employee helplessly watched.

Melendez told KGO that she's witnessed three out-in-the-open shoplifting sprees at different Walgreens in San Francisco: "At what point do we say, 'Enough is enough, we want our city back'?"

Stores closing

The station said stores are closing in the wake of such thefts, which drive down profit.

Image source: KGO-TV video screenshot

"Seventeen Walgreens over the last five years, almost every Gap retail outlet is gone, CVS is under assault," San Francisco Supervisor Ahsha Safai told KGO.

Image source: KGO-TV video screenshot

The station said Safai held a hearing last month on organized retail theft, and he said District Attorney Chesa Boudin and the police department need a much more coordinated response.

"It might even involve a more aggressive effort when it comes to surveillance cameras, because you see the same individual hitting multiple locations, then you can begin to have deeper conversation about bringing multiple charges, or aggregate charges against that individual and really start to break this up," he told KGO.

Safai added to the station that he's seen some success at a Walgreens in his district that uses uniformed off-duty police officers to guard it. He added to KGO that Boudin and the SFPD have until mid-July to respond to his letter of inquiry on organized retail theft.

Anything else?

And if you're hoping Boudin will respond positively to Safai's letter, you might want to place your hope elsewhere. The far-left DA came into office in 2019 with a promise not to prosecute things like prostitution and public urination. In fact, just two days into his term, Boudin fired seven tough-on-crime prosecutors in order to get his progressive agenda off the ground.

VIDEO: Security guard pulls gun on protesting mob that stormed lobby of New York City federal building



A security guard pulled a gun on a mob of protesters that stormed a New York City federal building that houses the FBI and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the New York Post reported, citing video posted to social media.

Image source: WABC-TV video screenshot

What are the details?

The video, which was recorded Wednesday afternoon inside 26 Federal Plaza, shows a female guard who works for a private firm Paragon Systems pointing a gun at protesters who had breached the lobby, the paper said.

"It got intense," another guard told the Post on Thursday morning. "We are out here every day putting our lives on the line so that everyone else can be safe."

Here's the clip, which was originally posted to Instagram:

The paper said about 100 demonstrators marched for 90 minutes to the federal building — and it all stemmed from a recent whistleblower complaint that immigrant women detained in Georgia received hysterectomies without consent.

Police told WABC-TV that the Abolish ICE demonstrators forced their way into the lobby of the building.

More from the Post:

Protesters — some carrying signs reading "ICE & DHS agents of genocide" — occupied the lobby, clapping and chanting as they squabbled with news photographers, incorrectly claiming that they were not allowed to take their photos without "consent."

The walkway leading to the building was spray-painted "FREE THEM ALL" and a security booth was tagged "QUIT YOUR JOB!!" as a lone officer sat inside it.

And the doors at its Duane Street entrance were smashed and covered with plywood Thursday.

Image source: WABC-TV video screenshot

The paper noted that the incident involving the security guard pulling her gun occurred toward the end of the protest and demonstrators left in about 20 minutes.

The Post said that neither Paragon — which provides security at federal buildings around the country — nor ICE immediately returned messages. But the New York Daily News noted that Federal Protective Service said the incident is under investigation.

So far no arrests have been made in the incident, WABC reported.
