Man uses gun to save 3 kids.
« on: January 03, 2012, 12:27:35 PM »
In Utah yesterday a car had run off a road and flipped upside down into a freezing cold river with 4 individuals inside. 1 adult male and 3 kids were rescued by good Samaritans. During the accident 2 of the kids were unconscious floating in the back seat while the other clingged in an air pocket in the footwells. At first the rescuing public were unable to get them out untill a former law inforcement officer pulled out his personal carry gun from his side, placed in underwater up against the side widow and fired. The shot broke the window glass out. Once the window was removed he used his carry knife to cut seat belts off and helped others remove all passengers from the car. All individuals were then rescue and given medical attention. His fast thinking and preparedness saved all the lives involved. The adult and Kids are doing just fine. I  thought it was a great story to bring up in this forum. I am sorry I don't have the make or model of the gun used but it may come out in later interviews. In an interview this morning the recscuer that used the gun says he never leaves his home without his gun, knife and small flashlight. His own father called him a good "boy scout" and is always prepared. Cool story for you all.

Great story thanks for sharing it.
