An armed passing motorist was credited with saving the life of an Arizona state trooper by shooting and killing a gunman who ambushed the trooper in the middle of a lonely interstate highway before dawn Thursday.
"I would just say at this point, thank you, because I don't know that my trooper would be alive today without his assistance," Col. Frank Milstead, director of the Arizona Department of Public Safety, said after he met with the seriously injured trooper at the hospital.
The trooper — a 27-year veteran who hasn't been identified but was reported as stable with gunshot wounds in his chest and right shoulder — was responding to reports that shots had been fired at about 4 a.m. (6 a.m. ET) on Interstate 10 about 40 miles west of Phoenix, Milstead said.
On the way, the trooper spotted a rollover accident, stopped to investigate and began blocking off the scene. A woman who was believed to have been ejected from the vehicle was later determined to have died at the scene, authorities said.
"As the trooper exited his vehicle and began to lay out flares, it appears at this point that he was ambushed by the suspect," Milstead said. "In the initial confrontation, the suspect shoots the trooper in the shoulder [and] right chest area at least one time, possibly twice, disabling the use of the trooper's right hand and right arm."
The gunman then attacked the trooper with his hands, bashing his head into the pavement, Milstead said. That's when the passing motorist stopped.
"The trooper says, 'Please help me,' and asks the uninvolved third party for help," Milstead said. "That person retreats back to his vehicle, removes his own weapon from the vehicle, confronts the suspect, giving him orders to stop assaulting the officer. The suspect refuses. The uninvolved third party fires, striking and killing the suspect." ...

Hell yeah. I love it when a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun.

The civilian did what most of us would have done, imho. I'm of the opinion now, though, that he will face a lawsuit and defending himself will take every asset he has accumulated in his lifetime. This will bankrupt him. I sure hope I'm wrong about this...

And it will still be worth it. A man gets to go home to his family tonight because of him.
Nobody said it would be easy.

That dude should get an award. Not just for saving the trooper's life, but by saving the taxpayers all that money having to feed and house that POS.

Maybe the DOJ will come out and say they understand why the cop was ambushed by a man who was distraught over police being mean. frick, Obama may give his family a medal

not sure about the laws in arizona, but in louisiana and florida the family of the slain would be unable to sue.

If the family attempted to sue this fine young man then that family should. E thrown in to a deep dark hole somewhere and left to rot. Scum is scum and it must be treated as such.
