Heroes Take Action During Brutal Beating

Posted:

Omaha, NE - Two good Samaritans take action during a brutal beating on an Omaha street. It happened at 32nd and 'Q' streets just after eight Thursday night. You could call it a family affair when a father-son duo come to the rescue. They see a man being pistol whipped in a parking lot outside a restaurant. The dad then takes out his own gun to try to stop the suspect.

More than half a dozen shell casings litter the ground at the La Ezmeralda strip mall. The bullets didn't come from the suspects gun, rather the gun of the man who owns the place.

His son Samuel Gomez Junior says, "the guy ran into the car, threw his gun. My dad pulled his out as I was trying to pull the keys out of the car, and shot his tires out."

Gomez and his father didn't hesitate and sprung into action to help the man getting attacked. Gomez says, "It's an adrenaline. You just want to get him out you know. You just don't want anyone to get hurt."

The suspect managed to drive away in a gray Mazda with those flat tires shot out. As for the victim, paramedics took him away in serious condition. It's possible we could see this daring rescue on camera. The Gomez's have security cameras all over the strip mall.
