Amid the chaos of today’s tragic mass shooting in Kansas City, an Omaha hero (Paul) emerged, bravely tackling one of the suspected shooters. Paul Contreras, the courageous individual who took swift action.
During an interviews given to KETV7 he said,
“I didn’t hesitate. It was just do it. So I went to go tackle him and another gentleman did the same thing and as I’m tackling him, I see his weapon either fall out of his hand or out of his sleeve.”
“It seemed like forever, but it probably wasn’t, it was like 30 seconds holding him down… Where’s the cops? Get the cops over here, get the cops over here.“
Here is the clip of his interview shared on X.
