One came towards Sideboerd, the other towards his car.<\/p>\n<p>But what they armed robbers didn\u2019t know, was that 63-year-old Sideboerd was armed.<\/p>\n<p>According to NOPD, one of the masked men told Sideboerd\u2019s cousin to put his hands on the car while the other pushed Sideboerd to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said, don\u2019t you move, so I turned around \u2026 he pointed at me and I pulled out my gun and boom boom boom!\u201d Bennie said, reenacting the dangerous encounter.<\/p>\n<p>None of his bullets hit their target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen he came running at me \u2026 he knocked me down \u2026 I grabbed him by his back and I went BOOM,\u201d Sideboerd said. \u201cIt was a five-shot gun and I knew I had one shot left, so when I grabbed him, I went boom \u2026 he dropped the gun then he grabbed his stomach and said \u2018Oh Lord!\u2019 and rode out and ran.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the shots rang out, police say Sideboerd\u2019s cousin ran to the 2nd district police station just a couple blocks away, while the second robber took off in their car. He remains at-large.<\/p>\n<p>A Navy veteran and shooting range regular, Sideboerd said he wasn\u2019t nervous at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen somebody comes at you like that, you can\u2019t be nervous,\u201d he said. \u201cIf not, they\u2019re going to kill you anyhow.
