Another armed citizen saves lives and hardly makes the evening news.

Back in June 2018, Jerry Pendergrass shot and killed Joshua S. Stanford who was engaged in a gunfight with police officers.

Stanford was wanted for theft and on the run from Springfield, MO police.

Pendergrass, who possesses a CCW, heard the shots being fired and intervened when he noticed one of the officer’s guns jammed.

The cop yelled at him to get away, but Pendergrass drew his weapon and mortally shot Stanford.

As a result, the Springfield PD have awarded Pendergrass with a citation.

Mr. Jerry Pendergrass is clearly an unsung hero.

We need more Americans like him.
