Off-Duty Corrections Officer Runs Towards Gunfire, Tries To Help Mother And Child

On-duty Military and First Responders are expected to run towards danger and save lives. Fortunately for many people, this instinct and bravery doesn't just shut off when these men and women are off duty.

This was demonstrated when off-duty Louisville Metro Department of Corrections Officer Maranda Grayson loaded her weapon, called 9-11 and ran outside after gunshots went off unexpectedly.

Grayson immediately began rendering aid to a mother her 10-year-old son who had been shot. The mother died at the scene but the boy survived.

The gunman had shot the mother and son before kidnapping a 2-year-old boy. The suspect led Police on a four-day manhunt before being apprehended. The kidnapped boy was rescued safely.

Officer Grayson was honored for her heroic actions and is being hailed hero. Her response is typical of real heroes. She doesn't feel like a hero because the mother died.

"I'm happy to know that his brother is back home and the guy is caught."

  1. This is a great story about the officers who are trying to get the job done for us and they are brave and honored people

  2. This a great story and more of these should be published so all Americans can see how good our Police and first responders really are?

    1. The 10 year old wasn't his child. He wanted his child and the mother was trying to stop him from taking him.So he shot them both to escape !!! To bad the POS wasn't killed when taken into custody !!!!

    2. Just another example of the quality seen with today's writers. i.e. rambling disconnected information , lack of pertinent information , inaccurate information , headline not matching the story, etc

  3. Well done officer Grayson. Thank the good lord that one boy survived and the other was rescued safely. The lowlife scumbag should not have been taken alive !!!

    1. For who the one who did the crime or those who are soft on crime/defund the police OR better yet BOTH!
