One of the two people credited with stopping Saturday's mass shooting at a Colorado Springs nightclub has San Diego roots. Richard Fierro graduated from Mira Mesa High School and got his bachelor's degree from San Diego State University before joining the Army.
Fierro said he was at the club with his family to celebrate a birthday."The six of us were having the greatest time just enjoying the show," said Fierro."I went, I gotta stop this guy, so I ran across the room and I pulled him down," Fierro said. Fierro also said he's angry that innocent people experienced things only people in the military should ever see."My daughter and wife should have never experienced combat in Colorado Springs," he said."Everybody in that building experienced combat that night, not their own accord but because they were forced to."In San Diego's Hillcrest community, Fierro was praised for his actions during a Monday night vigil.
