Soldier Saves ‘Countless’ Lives by Ramming His Vehicle Into Active Shooter

A Fort Leavenworth soldier was seriously injured Wednesday afternoon in a shooting on Centennial Bridge in Leavenworth, and a suspect was taken into custody after another soldier intervened, according to the police chief. . .

Leavenworth police were called to investigate a report of a person firing shots on the bridge.

It’s unclear what led up to the suspect seemingly firing shots at random on the bridge, Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens told reporters, but one person was struck— an active duty soldier who appeared to be an unintended target.

Kitchens said another soldier from Fort Leavenworth was waiting in traffic when he witnessed the shooting. The soldier intervened, he said, “by striking the shooter with his vehicle.”

Kitchens said the soldier’s actions brought an end to the shooting, “likely saving countless lives.” (Read more from “Soldier Saves ‘Countless’ Lives by Ramming His Vehicle Into Active Shooter” HERE)
