Yesterday yet another wacked out gunman went on a rampage. This time the scene of the crime was a church in Colorado Springs. The guy walked into the New Life Church and started shooting.
The hero came in a female form. She was a security guard, a volunteer security guard, no less. Her name is Jeanne Assam. She took responsibility beyond the norm, approaching the gunman when he was firing off rounds. Forty rounds they claim.
Jeanne took the guy out. In doing so she saved countless lives. I am amazed at your presence of mind and laser-like focus. You conquered fear and won.
Sometimes ordinary people do extraordinary things. Jeanne you rock!
Thank you.
UPDATE: As it turns out the wacked out gunman took his own life, the corner confirmed this yesterday. Of course if it weren’t for Jeanne confronting him, who knows how many more innocents would have been killed or injured.
