YouTuber Brandon Buckingham says he shot a would-be robber multiple times after he was punched.
Brandon Buckingham is a popular
YouTuber known for his travel videos where he visits dangerous locations across the globe, such as Vancouver’s East Hastings Street, the Middle East, and random events such as The Gathering of the Juggalos.
The creator is still on the mend after
suffering from multiple organ failure in late 2025 – a scary incident that resulted in the influencer needing to raise money through a
GoFundMe to pay for medical bills.
On March 15, Buckingham posted a couple of Instagram stories detailing how he’s still not well enough to travel and film, but wanted to share a wild life update involving an attacker he was forced to shoot.
Brandon Buckingham shoots would-be robber “four or five times”
In the video, Brendon addressed an alleged attacker head-on while revealing the situation to his followers.
“Hey to the coward that sucker punched me and tried to rob me, I hope that sh*t was worth it,” he said before showing the camera his handgun.
“You didn’t get a dollar and you still got shot like four or five times. B*tch ass.”
Buckingham didn’t delve deeper into the situation, such as where this alleged assault took place or the condition of the attacker. He also had a bandage with what appeared to be blood below his nose.
We’ll have to see if the YouTuber reveals more information on his
channel at a later date, but he wouldn’t be the first content creator to fend off a robber using a firearm.
Last year, Amouranth’s husband shot at a trio of masked home invaders who
broke into their home and demanded access to the streamer’s crypto wallets. The alleged intruders were captured and, according to the influencer couple, are
facing 99 years behind bars.
