Ex-criminal saves police officer in Texas shootout

A former criminal, John Phillip Lally, turned Samaritan by saving a wounded police officer during a spectacular shootout on a Texas highway. The event occurred at 10 a.m. on Saturday, after a police chase and a multi-vehicle car accident. Lally, present at the scene, initially attempted to help the accident victims, but faced with gunfire, chose to record the incident and his heroic intervention on his phone. Seeing Officer J. Gibson being shot, Lally quickly pulled him to safety behind his truck, saving his life. Meanwhile, the other officers pursued the suspect, a 19-year-old, who eventually succumbed to his wounds after a shootout with police. Lally, owner of a T-shirt business, has a criminal record, but his heroic act was widely praised on social networks.
