A Texas attorney who pulled a gun and threatened to shoot his ex-girlfriend at a bar last week has been discovered dead by police.
The Austin Police Department found the body of Gavin Rush, 41, on Wednesday just before 4:30 p.m. after a call requesting a welfare check.
The victim told police Rush was her ex-boyfriend of three years and their relationship ended about a month and a half ago, according to the arrest affidavit. She said that over the course of the prior week he had been attempting to rekindle their relationship but found out she was interested in a relationship with someone new, the affidavit said.
He stated to the victim, “so you just aren’t going to talk to me?” and she replied"No." He then reached into satchel, procured a pistol and pointed it at her, activating a laser sight with the red dot centered on her chest. The patrons eventually were able to remove the pistol from Rush and held him down until he was taken into custody by officers.
Investigators determined one bullet struck the bar mirror just behind where the female victim was standing. The incident was also caught on security cameras at the bar, the filing said.
