Church guard pulls gun to protect Britney
A church guard pulled a gun on a paparazzi photographer to keep him away from Britney Spears.
Britney, 25, had just left a Presbyterian service when the photographer followed in his car, dodging police halting traffic and driving close to an officer.
The guard, a retired police officer, halted the car at gunpoint shouting: “Get out of your car! Get down!”
He then hauled the terrified man out of his Lexus 4×4, handcuffed him, and sat him down by the side of the road.
A witness to the scene in Bel Air, Los Angeles, said: “When Britney left the church in her car police kept photographers back.
“One guy tried to get past and two guards ran into the street.
“One whipped out a gun. He was shouting ‘Get out of your car!’ The snapper looked so scared. He was saying ‘What have I done?’
“The guard said ‘You tried to run the traffic officer down’. He said ‘No, I didn’t’.”
The photographer was later released.
The church said: “Our guard doesn’t regret what he did. This is a church, not a pop concert.”
