The incident took supposedly place about a month after Rush’s ex ended a three-month relationship.

Police say that Rush wanted to get back together, and when she declined, he sent multiple texts threatening her and her new boyfriend.

When she told him she was at work and stopped responding, Rush showed up at her job, a bar in North Austin, according to police.

Again, she refused to talk to him — and that’s when he pulled out the gun, pointing at her chest and firing, barely missing. Two other patrons, who police said knew the backstory of the relationship, tackled him and wrestled away the weapon.

Police said he continued to make threats during the struggle, firing the gun. At one point, he threatened to kill himself.

Rush has since been arrested and already bonded out of jail, drawing criticism from local police and community members.

“This attorney belongs behind bars, pending a lengthy jury of his peers,” City Councilwoman Mackenzie Kelly said, via Fox 7.

Rush apparently has since been fired by the law firm for which he worked.

“Gavin Rush no longer works at the firm. We do not tolerate hatred or violence of any kind,” the firm said, via Fox 7. “Our thoughts are with the victims who experienced a significant trauma that day.”
