Showing Original Post only (View all)An Unarmed Retired Army Major and Combat Veteran Disarmed and Beat the Club Q Shooter [View all]

This guy is a hero. A combat Army veteran officer tackled and beat the armed 6'3, 300-pound Club Q mass shooter with the killer's own pistol. The mass shooter was also stomped into submission by a drag performer wearing high heels.
"When the shooting started, Mr. Fierro said, he hit the floor, pulling a friend down with him. As bullets sprayed, he saw the gunman move through the bar toward a door leading to a patio where dozens of bar patrons had fled. Mr. Fierro, who served in the Army for 15 years, said he raced across the room, grabbed the gunman by a handle on the back of his body armor, pulled him to the floor and jumped on top of him."
"As the fight continued, he said, he yelled for other club patrons to help him. A man grabbed the rifle and moved it away to safety. A drag dancer stomped on the gunman with her high heels. The whole time, Mr. Fierro said, he kept pummeling the shooters head while the two men screamed obscenities at each other."
Thank you, Maj. Richard M. Fierro.
By the way, you can order stuff from Maj. Fierro's brewery business to show your appreciation. I ordered three t-shirts for under $40 (shipping included).

A drag queen in heels was more successful at stopping a mass shooter than the Uvalde PD.
