November 22, 2022 ·Jenna Biter
Just before midnight on Saturday, a 22-year-old man dressed in body armor and carrying a rifle and pistol entered Club Q in Colorado Springs and started shooting.
That’s when Richard Fierro, a 45-year-old former artillery soldier, jumped into action. “I don’t know exactly what I did, I just went into combat mode,” Fierro told The New York Times in an interview Monday, Nov. 21. “I just know I have to kill this guy before he kills us.”
Police said Fierro disarmed the suspect, stopping the shooting spree. The gunman still shot and killed five and injured 18 before Fierro and others reached him.
Colorado Springs police identified Fierro and Thomas James as “two people whose heroic actions stopped the suspect and saved lives.”
