gun owner is a hero

[eatsnopaste]

there is a hero in Mishawaka today. He drew his gun and stopped a hit and run driver, took his keys and held the felon at gun point until the police arrived. Unfortunately one of the little girls has died of her injuries and the other is still in critical condition. Link to the story is southbendtribune.com

South Bend Tribune: Witness halts fleeing driver after two Mishawaka girls struck

Direct link to the story....good for him! Its pretty sick that the guy was going to just take off and leave those kids to die.

The driver was taken to the police station for questioning and then released

WTF?

With all the witness's why wouldn't they file charges?

Maybe just koolaid cops?

What a tragic story. It breaks my heart to think of what those two little girls went through.

Kudos to the man who stopped the fleeing driver. I personally think he did the right thing.

God Bless the family of the two little girls. Prayers.

I doubt they would've released him if they filed charges. . . .

I doubt they would've released him if they filed charges. . . .

Agree...

But what about attempting to flee the accident? Maybe there's more to the story.

Both girls were rushed by ambulance to Memorial Hospital in South Bend with critical injuries, Mishawaka police Capt. Pasquale Rulli said. One was immediately admitted into surgery, he said, and the other flown to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis.

There is an INGOer who's wife is a trauma nurse at Riley. I wonder if he'd have any updates. . . .

I just re-read IGW's post. It was the DRIVER who was taken and released. . . I thought it was the GUN TOTER.

I think maybe IGW meant "why wouldn't they file charges . . . ."

correct it was a typo.... with all they witness's why wouldN'T they file formal charges against the driver and lock him up? something sounds fishy..... maybe the driver was a politician so he was above the law.

Not if she wants to keep her job and stay out of jail. Disseminating information about patients is a major no-no in the health care professions, and is actually a violation of Federal Law (HIPPA).

Usually if there is a high-profile patient, the hospital public relations folks will work with the patient or the family to produce an official release or press statement (that is approved by the patient/family). Anything other than that leaking out, and somebody is in big trouble.

Let's keep an eye on any developments, and see if the good guy gets "spanked" for his "wild" actions of pointing a gun!!!!
