| [Breitbart] A good guy with a gun shot and killed an attacker at an Alabama mall "within seconds" of that attacker shooting and wounding two people. WVTM reports that the good guy, a Hoover, Alabama, police officer, shot the gunman, who was then pronounced dead at the scene. "He was a good boy, kind to his Moms. Turning his life around" The incident occurred at Riverchase Galleria. Public Service Homicide (PSH) suspected. Hoover Police Chief Nick Derzis said, "From the time that shooting took place, they engaged and it was safe within seconds that it happened. You don’t see that too often. So very, very proud of that." Hoover Mayor Frank Brocato said, "Unfortunately, an individual lost his life. Unfortunately, one of our police officers had to engage that individual. He did so as a professional. He did so at the risk of his own life. But he stepped in to protect thousands, and I’m grateful for that." WBRC reports that the incident occurred around 9:30 pm on Thanksgiving night. That 21-year-old Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford, Jr., who is now deceased, shot an 18-year-old twice following a physical confrontation. Bradford also shot a 12-year-old girl. The 18-year-old is in serious condition and WBRC indicates the female is "alert" and "talking." |
