A now-viral video shows a man claiming to be a former police officer holding a shotgun in a Houston-area parking lot, threatening a grocery-store looters during Hurricane Harvey’s aftermath.

The man, who was not identified, shouted at people approaching the Little York Food Mart store, “Hey, don’t you go back in that store! I’m telling you one time. I’m not scared to shoot you,” the vigilante tells someone, claiming that he’s as an ex-S.W.A.T. deputy.

He also threatened another person, saying he would “cut” them “in half” with his shotgun blast.
