Marine veteran who disarmed rioters: 'There was only one thing I could do'

SEATTLE – A Marine veteran working security for a Q13 News crew during what began as a peaceful protest in downtown Seattle has been hailed a hero for his quick action to disarm two rioters of stolen police-issued rifles.

The guard, who has asked not to be named, said his training and experience took over when he saw the AR-15s pulled from two Seattle Police Department SUVs that were vandalized and eventually set on fire.
