Bystander Spots Sergeant Being Savagely Beaten, So She Takes Out Her Gun And Ends The Attack
Sergeant Randy Harkness from Dawson County, Georgia, noticed a homeless man begging for money on a street corner.
Feeling compassion, he decided to give the man a ride to the nearest gas station and some money for food.
However, once the homeless man entered the vehicle, he began attacking Harkness, hitting and scratching his face. The unexpected behavior left Sergeant Harkness in shock, and he suffered facial injuries during the attack, which showed no signs of stopping.
Suddenly, a bystander, legally carrying a firearm, noticed the attack and acted swiftly. She rushed towards the sergeant and fired one shot, causing the homeless man to run. With a second shot, she hit the suspect.
Sergeant Harkness was immensely grateful for the bystander’s intervention, which likely saved his life.
The Dawson County Sheriff praised the woman as a hero.
“I truly believe that she’s a hero,” Sheriff Jeff Johnson told FOX 5 Atlanta. “I believe that she potentially saved this officer’s life. We don’t know how far the suspect would have gone with the assault.”
