EXCERPT:
CONTRERAS: "I just heard somebody yelling to stop this guy, tackle him, and he was coming in the opposite direction, so I just -- you don‘t think about it. It‘s just a reaction. He got close to me. I got the right angle on him and I hit him from behind. And when I hit him from behind, I either jarred the gun out of his hand or out of his sleeve, because as I‘m taking him down to the ground, I see the gun on the ground. So I take him down and I‘m putting all my body weight on him, and then another good Samaritan comes over and is helping me because I kind of got him high and the other guy gets him around his waist. And we‘re just putting our weight on him and he‘s just fighting to get up, but we‘re fighting to keep him down. And another Samaritan comes over and puts his weight on us, and we‘re waiting for the cops to show. They finally — they get there and the second cop gets there, the third gets there, then they pretty much take over, and I‘m standing there for about a minute or two. You know, me and the cops didn‘t even have like one or two words, you know. Once they had him and got him cuffed, I sat there for two minutes with all my three daughters, and then we just walked away. We headed toward our car."
