As Quintero began interfering with the arrest of Hudson, a civilian told officials that Quintero had a gun.

A 41-year-old security guard at the Lucky Bastard Saloon saw Quintero pulling out the gun from a satchel. The guard jumped down from the window of the saloon and onto Quintero, knocking the gun out of Quintero's grasp.
