Update.
Yes, thanks! This guy's a true hero.
I also hope he has, or obtains, personal protection (I'm thinking firearms) now that it's public knowledge that he took out a gang member... and look out for his family as well. He's a hero, but he may also be a marked man.
I hope the little girl comes out of this okay. She's been through some rough treatment. But thank God she's alive and can recover.
