The 60-year-old security guard is reportedly a retired police officer.

A security guard working at a Burlington Coat Factory in New York City deterred an aspiring shoplifter Sunday after shooting at him multiple times, according to police.. The male would-be shoplifter is reportedly 15 years old and entered the store at approximately 4:20 p.m. The individual was reportedly accompanied by four other people wearing masks, which prompted their eventual removal from the store.

The New York City Police Department told The National Desk officers responding to the scene determined the security guard shot three rounds "in self-defense" due to "being menaced a possible firearm."
