Patrol Officer Follows Gut Feeling, Ends Up Saving Mans Life

 March 1, 2022

Ask any First Responder, sometimes you just need to follow your gut. A Tire Hill, PA Officer did just that and he is being credited with saving a mans life.

Collin Hargnett, an officer with Conemaugh Township Police Department for a year and a half, awoke with a strange urge to go to the local water tower. He ignored the inclination at first and went about his shift as normal until the urge just wouldn't leave him alone:

"I was thinking I should go to the water tower,... It's not someplace I normally would go. So I go up there, and sure enough..."

Officer Hargnett finally gave in to the bizarre feeling and drove to the remote water tower. As he pulled up, a startling scene greeted him: a bloody man stumbling around:

"It was Sunday morning and I initially thought it might be an intoxicated person, somebody who was maybe out partying in the woods overnight,... I went up to him and realized it was more serious. He had a gunshot wound on the left side of his chest and blood all over his shirt. I could see a firearm laying there."

Officer Hargnett immediately called for EMS and rendered aid, preventing the man's lungs from filling with blood. Fortunately, EMS arrived in time to take over and save the man from dying.

The victim's name and the reason for the gunshot wound has not been released at this time. Officer Hargnett has been presented with a commendation for trusting his instincts and acting quickly to save a life.

Let us know what you think of the bizarre situation and Officer Hargnett's quick thinking!

    1. Of course it was. He does that a lot. We just need to listen. God speaks to his children. We just need to get the bubble gum out of our ears.

  1. God Bless Officer Hargnett, God was telling him to go to the water tower, Praise the lord!

  2. God bless Officer Hargnett and the man he saved! I agree with another comment, God's Holy Spirit was definitely guiding him and it was not that man's time to die. How proud this officer's parents have to be of their son!

  3. Another reason that the American people do not want to defund the police. This man should be praised by all the fake news, but they won't touch the story with a ten foot pole because it speaks well of our police. The current administration wants to take down and defame our good police officers.

  4. Same thing happened to my husband We we’re on our boat when he said we have to go home something is wrong Mom. When we got there she was on the floor passed out. Amazing

  5. GOD works in mysterious ways !!!!! I truly believe that these so called gut feelings is the Holy Spirit speaking to us !!!!! That's why I NEVER fight the feelings and do as I am guided !!!!!!!! God uses us in many different ways, you just have to be willing to LISTEN !!!!
    Praying that God continues to guide and direct His flock !!!!!!!!
