Once again the concealedonline.com team salutes another heroic CCW American who stepped up and saved a member of law enforcement, an endangered deputy who almost lost his life at the hands of a violent suspect. A Good Samaritan with a concealed carry permit shot a man who was attacking a Lee County, Florida deputy on the I-75 off-ramp.
The suspect’s car “swerved onto the shoulder on the left side” according to a witness who described how she watched a deputy give high-speed chase. “There was a lot of other lives that he was putting at risk, including mine and my daughter’s,” said Nicole Ambrosini, who saw it all go down. “I saw a car fast approaching from behind at an insane speed.
That car “then swerved onto the shoulder on the left side and had to have been doing around 120 miles per hour,” she said, describing how she watched a deputy give chase. Both cars eventually got off at Exit 123 – Corkscrew Road. Eventually, the driver got out of his car on an off-ramp and attacked the deputy.
I saw the deputy and the suspect out of their cars with the doors both wide open and they were some type of altercation,” Ambrosini said. “But then I heard like three shots.” Holditch said the suspect “refused to get off the officer and the officer kept yelling, ‘shoot him, shoot him, shoot him,’ and then the citizen shot him – BANG! BANG! BANG! – three shots!
The guy that shot the bad guy was just a guy that pulled over on the ramp and saw the suspect beating the officer. That’s when the citizen pulled out his gun,� said Smith. It is unclear if that person was a Good Samaritan or an off-duty officer, but whatever the case, the shooter undoubtedly saved the life of the deputy who was attacked. After the shooting, the deputy was rushed to the hospital, but he is expected to recover.
