'Don't fancy that today': British tourists react to armed man at LA Apple Store

By David Edwards
Published May 25, 2025 4:36 PM ET

Two British tourists reacted with shock after seeing a mentally ill man with assault-style rifles at the Apple Store in Los Angeles.

KTLA reporters were on the scene Saturday for another story when a man identifying himself as Stephen Jensen showed up with two AR-15s.

Video captured by the station showed a police officer struggling to take down Jensen after he displayed his weapons to the two tourists.

Redundant.

“…with two AR-15s.”

As if one wasn’t enough.

I mean, it doesn’t happen everywhere, all the time but it COULD happen anywhere, at any time. Plan your travel accordingly.

European tourists have to be thinking of better places to have a holiday.
