Patron stabbed while disarming gunman, deputies say

The scene unfolded around around 11:25 p.m. Saturday at the Europa Lounge in the European Village area of Palm Coast. Daniel Allen Noble (pictured below), 37, entered the lounge dressed like "Rambo" with a rifle and two hunting style knives, FCSO Cmdr. Bob Weber said in a press release.

Weber said Noble's ultimate intentions are unclear, because two patrons "were able to grab the barrel of the rifle and point it downward, but not before one or two shots were fired into the ground without hitting anyone."

After Palm Coast residents Vassili Mironov, 28, and Roman Dubinsechi, 23, disarmed Noble, deputies said Noble grabbed one of the hunting knives and lashed out at the two men.

"The two men wrestled with Noble, who was then taken to the ground by patrons and rendered unconscious," Weber said. The patrons who helped disarm Noble were not seriously injured.
