Colette Wind has been employed at Bergey Windpower in Norman for roughly six years.

She's now being hailed a hero for stepping in Wednesday when a man entered the Norman business with a gas mask and firearms and confronted his wife.

Wind was in another room and intervened. The gunman then shot her, officials said.

"He put the shotgun down, and one of our employees picked it up and, as the gunman went for his other (gun), he had two other pistols. Our employee shot him," Bergey said.

Bergey and her family members are calling Wind a hero for risking her life to help a friend.

Really, really need to know if gunman is dead. If not, whoever shot him did NOT finish the job.

The owner hid behind his desk... Wind is a first responder of the hero kind... her boss, not so much, dialing 911 and waiting for second responders.

She got shot and someone else shot the perp? Did I read that correctly?

Colette Wind has been employed at Bergey Windpower ...


Her name is Wind and she works at Bergey Widpower. Makes sense.

As the perp was shot with his own gun, I wonder if the business prohibited employees from carrying their own?

On that note, a friend of ours got one of these for Christmas and sent us a pic of her wearing it proudly:

The same could be said for the heroine of this story.
