Man takes 12-14 shots from .40 cal pistol, walks to ambulance
Quote:
Deric used his body as a human shield to save this 11 year old boy from certain death at the hands of a crazed ex-boyfriend intent on killing him after brutally executing his mother.
Deric literally carried the boy, running out of the apartment, the entire time being shot repeatedly. Deric was struck by as many as 13 or 14 rounds, and yet was fighting his way to get to his truck, and to his personal firearm, in order to stop the ex-boyfriend. He collapsed before making it to the truck. He has a CCW permit and works for the city as a Memphis Housing Authority Police Officer. He had left his personal weapon in the truck, while visiting the mother and son.
Here is what happened:
Deric was vising the mother and child. The ex-boyfriend showed up and came through the front door with a key he still had. he confronted them will a pistol, that is now being confirmed as a .40 cal. Deric fought with the man, in the process taking several rounds.
When the ex then turned to shoot the boy, Deric shielded the boy with his body, taking rounds as he carried the boy out the front door and down stairs to the parking lot. He took between 12-14 rounds of ball FMJs resulting in 16 holes.
The ex went back into the apartment and locked the doors. Deric tried to make it to his truck and his weapon, but collapsed just as the first officer arrived on scene. The first responder happened to be a friend of Deric's. The officer applied pressure to as many holes as he could, and did not let go until they were wheeling him straight into the OR.
The medics showed up and Deric actually walked to the ambulance and climbed in under his own power. They then transported him to the only Level 1 trauma hospital in the city, which happens to also be one of the best hands down trauma centers in the world, The Med.
The ex, locked up in the apartment with the mother, then began negotiations with the Tactical Squad that had been dispatched and already arrived on scene.
The TACT unit was making preparations to breach, when they heard gunfire from inside the apartment. They breached instantly, and found the man had executed the mother with a shot to the back of the head and had also taken his own life.
Deric has already had multiple surgeries and will require many more. He had a couple fingers shot off, multiple rounds to the abdomen, two rounds to the groin that caused major damage, rounds to the shoulder, neck and back, and yet still walked to the ambulance when it arrived.

That article says nothing about anybody being shot 12-14 time...
However, after further investigation it says that he was. So I appologize OP. Please still love me.
