Most anything can be a weapon if you use your head. Good Job Soldier !

[LegendHasIt]

GOOD!

I hope his car wasn’t damaged, and blood washes off easily.

It's cool. I love a feel-good story. 👍

Don’t bring a gun to a car fight.

And ammunition is expensive!

Watch for the ding-dong governor to impose a three-day waiting period on the purchase of cars now!
- Seven if you’re active duty military!
... Thirty if you’re a veteran over 60 years old!

Angela Harper lives a couple streets away from the bridge. She heard a boom or two Wednesday morning, but thought it was just the sounds of the neighborhood.

is that possible? Must have been using a buffalo rifle.

The word “hero” comes to mind.

“How in the world did he end up under your car!?”

“I backed over him.”

“You backed over him?”

“Yeah. After I hit him head-on he was still moving.”

Now THAT's what I'm talking about.

The debate is over. Nothing beats an 18 million grain bullet.

And ammunition is expensive!

Bumpers are very expensive. Through in a head light assembly and you’re talking big money.

Easily more than a thousand dollars.

I hope he gets reimbursed.

I just don’t see collision insurance covering heroic actions done in the name of saving lives.

What was the name of the shooter. Odd it was not mentioned ed.

[reg45]

I’m certain that someone will cover any damage to the car.

“There was an active-duty soldier assigned to Ft. Leavenworth waiting in traffic behind the event, saw the event unfold, determined it was an active shooter and intervened by striking the shooter with his vehicle, causing him to be critically injured, ending the encounter with the active shooter and likely saving countless lives.”

Many lives saved... Many thanks to the young soldier...

“What was the name of the shooter. Odd it was not mentioned ed.“

Yea, odd that. It can mean only one thing.

A lone wolf no association with terrorism.

Move along.
