A man in Florida told police and a local news station that he gunned down an AK-47-wielding robber because he didn’t want to “go out like a punk.”

The man, 60-year-old Donovan Stewart, told CBS Miami that the robber pointed the semi-automatic weapon at him while he, his wife and his son were in his van early Monday in the Liberty City section of Miami.

“He put an AK-47 to my damn face,” Stewart told the news station.

“I am from Kingston town in Jamaica, and I am not going to go out like a punk. So I emptied my Glock in his chest,” Stewart added.

The robber was declared dead a short time later, according to the report.

Stewart told the news station that he’s a member of the NRA and has several permits to carry concealed weapons.

A police official added that investigators believe the slaying was a case of self-defense.

“I am going to defend my life and those I love,” Stewart told CBS Miami.

“My family is innocent and just don’t put an AK-47 in my face. I will not allow that to happen.”
