Good Samaritan Intervenes in Violent Assault of Female
Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a male, on foot, pointing a gun at another male in a vehicle. Deputies arrived and determined the male who was armed was a Good Samaritan who stopped the second man (suspect) from continuing the violent assault of an adult female. The suspect ran to a vehicle, later determined to have been reported stolen, and tried to leave, but the Good Samaritan blocked the car’s path, preventing the suspect’s escape. The suspect lurched the vehicle forward toward the Good Samaritan, causing him to fear for his life. He drew a handgun and pointed it toward the suspect, but the suspect lunged forward again. Believing the suspect was about to hit him, the Good Samaritan quickly moved to the side and fired one shot, striking the driver’s side tire. The suspect fled but was quickly located and detained by assisting Liberty Lake Police Officers and Deputies.
I thought this never happens...
