He Took the Shooter’s Eye Out 🤯
A first-person account of stopping an armed terrorist attack during an ROTC class, where the speaker and others physically subdued the shooter. The speaker describes taking out the attacker's eye with their finger during the struggle to control the weapon and protect classmates.
Summary
This is a dramatic first-person testimony of surviving and stopping a terrorist attack during what appears to be an ROTC military training class. The incident began when an armed individual entered the room asking if it was an ROTC class or seminar. Upon confirmation that it was ROTC, the attacker immediately drew a gun, shouted 'Allahu Akbar,' and began shooting at students. The speaker describes how their professor, Colonel Shaw, heroically stepped forward and bear-hugged the shooter while under fire. In the chaos that followed, multiple people fought to subdue the attacker - the speaker describes seeing another cadet on top of the shooter with a knife, while they personally grabbed the gun's slide to prevent further shooting. During the physical struggle to control the Glock pistol and point it away from classmates, the speaker managed to evacuate other students while still wrestling with the gunman. The confrontation was extremely violent, with the attacker being stabbed, beaten, and losing an eye - which the speaker admits to causing with their finger during the life-or-death struggle.
