New Yorkers are crediting an off-duty corrections officer with preventing a mass shooting on Sunday night. As usual, bad guys with guns were stopped by a good guy with a gun. Fortunately, in this case, the good guy was on scene and responded quickly enough to avert a horrifying tragedy.
New York City Department of Corrections Officer David Donegan had joined a group of people in observing a remembrance of a friend when two men drew weapons and began firing into the crowd.
Acting quickly, Officer Donegan drew his gun and shot several rounds at the gunmen. During the shootout, Officer Donegan was shot in the leg but he managed to shoot one of the suspects in the torso, effectively ending the threat.
Officer Donegan's quick thinking and incredible bravery is credited with preventing a tragedy. While he is currently being treated for his injuries, he is expected to make a full recovery.
New Yorkers have taken to social media to express their gratitude for Officer Donegan's heroism. One Twitter user said, "Thank you Officer Donegan for your bravery! You are a true hero!"
"Thankfully, Officer Donegan, who was off duty at the time, immediately pulled out his weapon and engaged them, firing several shots,"
President of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association, Benny Boscio
This heroic act by Officer Donegan prevented what could have been a tragic evening for many New Yorkers. Thanks to his quick actions, countless lives were saved.
I wonder when the libtard democrats will start screaming for this officer to be arrested for shooting the perp and preventing another mass killing that they seem to love so much. It took away their chance to start crying about their gun grabbing agenda.
I was wondering why nobody was mentioning about the fact that thiis obvious hero had his personal weapon on him at the time, and stoppedf this murdering pair. Those two will now and forever think twice about shooting people.
Yet, the ignorant, arrogant mayor Adams was pissed that SC said that lawful gun owners didn't have to give reasons for right to self protection. And the governor just signed anti gun rights bill, to make it harder to protect themselves. Good guys with guns are the best defense when police can't be everywhere. NY is their own worst enemy.
Thank God for the HERO who prevented this mass shooting.
If this doesn’t show the liberal Governor the value of good guys having guns nothing will. Her power play is going to kill more people just like Chicago. When you take away the guns from the good guys the criminals celebrate?
And an off duty cop was the only one armed beside the the shooters..
New York...New York..Gotta love it....
Right man, Right place, Right time!
Wake up people the Socialist Democrats don't say anything about taking guns away from the criminals only from the good people that still love this country do something about it not just talk about it.
Hell no
Officer Donegan is exactly the law-abiding type person that Kathy Hochul wants to disarm. We need guns in the hands of good citizens. Criminals are NOT going to give up their guns.
It just shows to goya that as many responsible citizens as possible need to have guns, learn how to use them well for self-defense, and should have a conceal-carry license.
