The viral video begins with a black SUV parked along a quiet road in the dead of night. Moments later, a black hatchback pulls up beside it, setting the stage for what the robbers thought would be an easy heist. Three visible criminals step out of the hatchback, moving toward the SUV with clear intent to commit a crime.
But before they can act, chaos erupts. A barrage of bullets suddenly rains down from the SUV, catching the robbers completely off guard. One of the assailants is struck by gunfire and collapses near the SUV, rolling in pain. The other two, gripped by fear, turn and flee for their lives.
As panic spreads, the hatchback driver wastes no time in abandoning his accomplices, speeding away without a second thought. Meanwhile, the SUV shooter keeps firing relentlessly until the remaining robbers vanish into the darkness.
The later part of the viral video shows the SUV moving toward the direction of the hatchback, possibly in pursuit. On the ground, the wounded robber is seen struggling to lift his legs, panting in agony.
The video has triggered an avalanche of reactions online, with ‘X’ users applauding the shooter’s brilliant marksmanship while slamming the robbers for their botched crime.
One user wrote: “This is what every criminal deserves, to be left spazing out on the floor as they die and leave this world a better place!” (sic)
Another user commented: “Don’t steal and you won’t lose your life that simple”.
