Two armed Good Samaritans, including one veteran, helped protect two wounded deputies who were shot while responding to reports of a “neighborhood dispute” on Thursday in Peaceful Valley, Wash.

According to the Whatcom County Sheriff’s Office, Deputies Ryan Rathbun and Jason Thompson responded to a dispute around 4:20 p.m. on Feb. 10. After arriving on scene, suspect Joel Young fired his shotgun, injuring one of the deputies. The second deputy returned fire, but Young shot again, injuring the second deputy.

Nearby armed civilians Jesse Marshall and Cody Deeter, who live down the street from Young, jumped into action and laid down cover fire to protect the fallen deputies.

“We got the kids inside, went in, got guns to return fire. Come out and handle the situation,” Marshall, a military veteran, said.
