A Vietnam veteran and cancer survivor was sitting on his porch at his Detroit home when two men robbed him at gunpoint on Friday afternoon.
“The guy kept saying ‘I will shoot you.’ I said ‘You [don’t have] to shoot me, take what you’ve want,'” Kendrick Holloway, 68, told Fox 2.
The suspects did not shoot Holloway; they did, however, steal jewelry right off his body that the veteran described as having sentimental value.
Holloway explained that his pupils were still dilated from an earlier doctor’s appointment, so his vision was blurred during the attack.
“I dropped the keys, I bent over to pick them up and they were right on me,” he said, adding, “It happened so fast, I didn’t even have a chance to think about it. The biggest thing was, ‘don’t shoot, just take the jewelry.’ That’s replaceable, I’m not.”
A doorbell camera captured the two punks in action, and the surveillance footage helped police land at least one suspect in custody.
“That’s fast action,” said Holloway of the arrest. “Police is doing their job. They are working it. They are giving a Vietnam veteran some props.”
“I love them for it,” added the vet.
Holloway concluded the interview with Fox 2 by wishing his attackers “well” — “when they go to prison.”
