Richard M. Fierro and other patrons of the nightclub subdued the gunman, saving “dozens and dozens of lives”
Richard M. Fierro and those yet to be named are heroes.
When the gunfire started, Fierro said that he looked across the room and saw the shooter standing at the door. “I ran across the bar, grabbed the guy from the back and pulled him down and pinned him against the stairs,” he said.
“I grabbed the gun out of his hand and just started hitting him in the head, over and over,” Mr. Fierro said.
He said he yelled for other patrons to help him. A man near the shooter moved the rifle to safety. A drag dancer kicked the gunman with her high heels while Fierro continued to beat the attacker’s head while blood pooled around them. When police arrived, Fierro said that the shooter was no longer struggling.
