An Air Force veteran in Nebraska and a pizza delivery driver in Texas have both made headlines recently for their heroic actions in foiling crimes.
On May 4th, Garrett Peddicord, an Air Force veteran from Omaha, Nebraska, sprang into action when he witnessed a man breaking into a jewelry store. Peddicord, who was nearby, immediately ran towards the store and drew his weapon. The suspect, startled by Peddicord's quick response, fled the scene.
Peddicord's courageous act prevented any potential harm to the store or its employees. He used his training and instinct to keep the community safe.
In Houston, Texas, a pizza delivery driver was confronted by a robber on May 7th. The driver, who was delivering food to an apartment complex, was approached by a man who pointed a gun at him and demanded cash.
