Golden Arrow security guard kills homeless man at bus terminus

A security guard employed to protect Golden Arrow kiosk sales personnel allegedly shot and killed a homeless person at the Mowbray bus terminus.John Dammert, Golden Arrow Bus Services’ corporate affairs executive says 53-year-old Stanton Daniels was shot in an act of self-defence.‘A homeless person reportedly drew a knife and proceeded to attack a security officer who is employed by an external security company that is used by GABS to accompany its kiosk sales personnel.

‘It was reported that in an act of self-defence, the security officer discharged his firearm, which resulted in the fatal wounding of the attacker.’‘Every morning the Golden Arrow bus people would wake him up and tell him to move. He got up and tried to pick up his needle to spike, he would spike and then push around the trolley to the Central Square.’

‘After picking up the needle he noticed something wrong with it and then tried to fix it with the broken knife that he had, it fell and then he picked it up from the ground and as he got up he was shot in the stomach by the Golden Arrow guy.’‘If it was any of us who did this then we would go to jail and so I insisted that the police arrest the shooter. I informed his child’s mother about this incident. Staten’s body was laying there for four hours,’ she added.

‘I’m angry because another friend of mine was killed by people from Lavender Hill. She picked up a jacket and she was accused of breaking into someone’s car. We are always the first suspects if anything happens. No one wants to hear our side of the story.’‘Upon arrival at the crime scene in Victoria Road at around 5am, they found the body of a 53-year-old man who sustained a gunshot wound. The victim was declared deceased on the scene by the medical personnel.

‘Report suggested that the suspect arrived for work and tried to remove people sleeping in front of his office door,’ he added.
