Dráque Murff, the owner of Dráque’s Barbershop on 39th Street, was home recovering Thursday. He told KCTV5 the man had come to his shop last week and asked for a discounted haircut. One of the barbers at the shop agreed. But Murff said that, after the trim, the man complained about it.
“It wasn’t even a bad cut,” Murff said. “He did a really good job with it. The man just wanted it for free.”
The next day the man returned, looking for the barber. When Murff told him the barber wasn’t there, the man became agitated. Murff said the customer pulled a gun.
“I started running,” he said. “But then, I got shot in the back.”
He said he kept running but fell when he tried to jump over a fence. He said the man stood over him with the gun.
“It was a terrible situation, lying there with a gun to my head,” Murff said. “I said one more prayer. He pulled the trigger and I just heard a click.”
He heard several more clicks as a stranger came to help.
“I looked up and saw some big dude,” he said. “He was trying to get the gun away and I went over and started hitting him.”
He said the other barbers had caught up by then and joined in to help. Lalo the Barber, who has a chair in Dráque’s, said they eventually got the gun away.
“We did what we had to do,” Lalo said.
