Fight involving gun caught on convenience store surveillance video

HOUSTON – A routine run to the convenience store turned into a frightening fight involving a gun and it was all caught on surveillance cameras.

David Calk, who got into the altercation, said, "He looked at me like, what's up. And I was like, 'What's up.' And he was like, 'You got a problem?'"

Tattoo artist David Calk said he had just walked across the street and into the store when a guy at the counter gave him a look and the two exchanged words.

Things quickly escalated, Calk said, when the other guy pulled a gun on him not just once,  but twice.

"He pulled it from his waist and pointed it at me, at my stomach and my head, like two or three times," said Calk.

The two men then scuffled before Calk was able to get the gun away and then got the upper hand.

Calk explained, "I saw the gun go that way, and that's when I just clamped him and pulled him down and I grabbed the gun."

In the video, Calk can be seen holding the other guy down in a leg hold before letting him go and leaving.

Police were called out and continue their investigation, but said so far no charges have been filed on either man.

They also added each one has given conflicting statements.

Police said the other man claimed it was Calk's gun that was pulled in the melee.

"There's videotape of him pulling a pistol out on me. So how is that not evidence enough? How are they going to believe his story?" said Calk.
