Colorado Springs Shooting Hero Says He Didn't Know If Friends Would Live

  • Army veteran Richard M. Fierro took down the gunman at Club Q in Colorado Springs.
  • Afterward, he immediately went to help friends who had been shot.
  • "I didn't know if they were gonna make it," Fierro said.

Army Veteran Richard M. Fierro, who helped save lives during Saturday's shooting at a LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, told CNN he joined the hands of two of his close friends because he believed they might not survive their gunshot wounds.

Fierro helped subdue the gunman who killed at least five people — one of whom was Fierro's daughter's boyfriend Richard Green Vance — and told CNN at that moment, he didn't care about his own safety.

"I cared about everyone that was around me. and I cared especially about my family," Fierro said.

After the police arrived at Club Q, Fierro said he immediately began trying to save a friend's life. He said he was trying to get one of his friends, who was shot in the chest, leg, and arms to "stay with him."

"I moved her head so she wouldn't see her arm because it was shot," Fierro said tearfully. "And Chip was right there, her husband was reaching for her, so I put her hand in his hand so that they could be together. I didn't know if they were gonna make it." 

 

Fierro attended Club Q to celebrate a friend's birthday by watching a drag performance. Three of his loved ones were shot, the Washington Post reported.

The shooting occurred the day before Transgender Day of Remembrance, which serves to honor the lives of transgender people who have died as a result of transphobia. Over the past five years, 175 transgender people have been killed in the US, Tausi Insider reported.

The 22-year-old shooting suspect now faces murder and hate crime charges

Victims of Saturday's tragic shooting include Ashley Paugh, Kelly Loving, Club Q bartenders Derrick Rump and Daniel Davis Aston, and Vance.

The shooter also left 25 people injured. 

"This whole thing is a lot," Fierro told CNN. "My daughter and wife should have never experienced combat in Colorado Springs, and everyone in that building experienced combat that night, not through their own accord, but because they were forced to."

Jets' remade secondary to get toughest test yet against Bills

Image
They came from Seattle, Tampa Bay, the University of Cincinnati and the brink of retirement to join together for games like this one.  The Jets secondary was remade in the offseason with the idea that the defense could “coverage you to death,” as head coach Robert Saleh put it. If the offseason free-agent additions of cornerback D.J. Reed from the Seahawks and safety Jordan Whitehead from the Buccaneers, the first-round drafting of Sauce Gardner and the re-signing of veteran safety Lamarcus Joyner weren’t done specifically with two division games per year against the Bills in mind, it certainly doesn’t hurt that the Jets can go strength-on-strength Sunday with an assassin.  MVP frontrunner Josh Allen quarterbacks the NFL’s leading passing offense (307.7 yards per game) with seven different weapons accounting for 19 touchdowns catches.  “It’s going to be a challenge,” Saleh said, “but, at the same time, a challenge that we think we’re up for.” ...

Mandy Moore’s Life as a Mom of Two Is ‘Pretty Dreamy’ 

Image
Mandy Moore may not actually be sleeping, but she’s living in a dreamworld with her sons Gus, 20 months, and Ozzie, born last month. The This Is Us star, who shares her boys with husband Taylor Goldsmith, gave an update about life with two in a sweet new interview. “So far, it’s been pretty dreamy—I feel bad saying that,” Moore told Parents yesterday. She continued, “The second we brought Ozzie home, he just wants to kiss him. He wants to be close to him. If he’s at the park with my husband and I’m home with the baby, he’s like ‘home Ozzie.’” Aww! It sounds like they are already developing a close bond, which is something that Moore is holding onto. “He’s just starting to really clock that obviously there’s another person in the house that’s taking both of his parents’ attention at certain points, but he’s actually been very sweet about it and really gentle,” she told the outlet. “And I’m excited to have these two boys so close in age, and hopefully, t...
