Shocking moment Texas attorney pulls out a GUN and tries to SHOOT his ... trends now
A lawyer was caught on video pulling a gun on his ex-girlfriend at a Texas bar and allegedly fired three shots before customers pinned him down.
Gavin Rush, 41, was then released just two days later on $40,000 bond despite facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon involving family violence.
Rush, who according to his LinkedIn page works on 'sexual assault, embryo destruction and fertility center misconduct, complex commercial litigation, civil rights actions, FINRA arbitrations, and financial services disputes' only had to post 10 percent of that, or $4,000.
The low bond was set despite Rush having been previously charged in 2017 with assault/family violence against a different woman, though the case was eventually dismissed.
The incident took place at around 11:30a.m. on Saturday, November 26 at the Anderson Mill Pub in Austin.
Rush's ex-girlfriend, who has not been identified, works at the bar and he went there to confront her, as she was apparently not speaking to him.

The woman and Rush had apparently broken up about a month and a half ago after three years of dating, according to Fox 7 Austin.
A surveillance video, posted to Twitter by a local councilmember named Mackenzie Kelly, shows him place a leather satchel at the top of the bar.
Rush's ex continued to refuse to speak to him when he arrived at the bar, according to a police affidavit.
He then pulled out a pistol and pointed it at her, a red dot from a laser sight pointing straight at her chest and fired, just missing her.
The affidavit says that Rush fired at least three times before being pinned, with one shot hitting a bar mirror behind where the ex-girlfriend was
