Good Samaritans Help CHP Officer Shot by Driver and hold onto perp
The officer, identified as Antonio Pacheco, a seven-year CHP veteran, was laying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his right thigh. Three other good Samaritans were with him trying to control the bleeding.
“Oh my gosh, just to see him on the floor, bleeding,” said Lilia. “I saw so much blood and I could see his face. He was calm but at the same time I knew he was debating for his life.”
Meanwhile, Floriberto another man armed with a knife had the shooter pinned to the center divider.
“He was out of control,” said Floriberto. “I don't know if he was on drugs or not but he was strong and he was trying to escape.”
But he didn't get a chance to escape. The shooter, identified as 25-year-old UCSD graduate student Yuhao Du, was arrested shortly after. Pacheco was taken to the hospital and had surgery. He's expected to survive.
