Omoh this one na confirm bravery oooo,she actually sustained a gun shot on her face and still was on her chase for the suspect..see story below
Ann Carrizales, a former Marine and boxer from Stafford, Texas, said
she was determined to stay because shooting her was ‘not allowed’ –
especially as she had two children at home.
‘It wasn’t an option for me to give up,’ she explained to the Today show.
‘I am a mom and they shot me and they were absolutely not going to
get away with that, because I will do everything I can to come home to
my children every day.’
Carrizales had been on a routine traffic stop in Stafford at 3am on
Saturday when she approached the car and felt something wasn’t right.
Within seconds, a passenger in the front began shooting.
She was struck twice at blank-point range – once in the cheek and
once in the chest, but the second bullet was stopped by her bullet-proof
vest. ’Her ballistic vest stopped almost all the shot to the chest,
some minor injuries there,’ police spokesman Dustin Claborn said.
’Without a doubt, it saved her life. It just illustrates how quickly
something can go bad for any officer at any time.’
The car sped off and she fired, smashing the back window.
She ran back to her car, called for backup and followed in hot pursuit for 20 miles.
‘I knew that it was what I needed to do, to catch these guys,’ she
said. ‘You can’t shoot me and drive away: It’s not allowed.’ Officers
from a neighboring police department helped apprehend the alleged
gunman, Sergio Francisco Rodriguez, after he was cornered in an
apartment complex.
