“I said: ”You’re messing with the wrong guy!'”

NORWOOD, PA – John McGowan was not in a good mood. His car had recently been totaled and he was brooding at a Sunoco station when a man walked in and shoved a gun in his face.

McGowan said “You’re messing with the wrong guy” and grabbed him in a jiu-jitsu choke hold, struggling with the suspect and beating him with his own gun.

The gun went off twice, but no one was harmed. 20-year-old C.J. Gostynski is now facing 33 charges including robbery and assault.
