That does not make him the Rambo the fake news will undoubtedly try to do.

Fiero is a hero. Hopefully he also learned that a gay club is not a good place to bring one’s wife and child.

It was at Club Q. He probably thought it was a Trump rally.

Thank you for saying that. The bottom line is, drag/gay bar or not, it was a business filled with patrons out for a fun evening and a psycho walked in and began shooting innocent people for no good reason. Perhaps GOD meant for this former soldier to be there to intervene before more human loss occurred.

I am on my laptop and went to the NT Times website via the hot link.
Once at the NY Times site, I clicked the icon in the laptop’s search/tool header bar for Enter Immersive Reader (a small “open book” image) and that opened up the article in its entirety, bypassing the pay wall.
It’s a new discovery for me and may hold the key to bypassing most if not all future pay walls that I encounter on the www.
Try it!

This is a wonderfully well written article that explains all the questions, such as why was a combat veteran at a gay club with his daughter, and this hero’s history and thought process as he underwent this experience. Very well worth reading to the end.
God bless him and his family. They will all have PTSD for a long time.
PS
Here is the entire article from an alternate site:

“I wonder how many gays survived because the straight Army dude was there.”
You’re assuming he’s straight.

She's an adult. She works at the family brewery, brewing and bartending. Seems some people are reading 'daughter' in the article and assuming they took a little kid there.

The best line from the New York Times article:
“A drag dancer was passing by, and Mr. Fierro said he ordered her to stomp the attacker with her high heels. The whole time, Mr. Fierro said, he kept pummeling the shooter with the pistol while screaming obscenities.”
To: Izzatso
per the article his daughter’s boy friend was killed too. the man is a true hero
