Iraq War Vet Describes Intense Confrontation with Poway Synagogue Shooter: ‘You Want to Intimidate the Enemy’

‘I yelled out as loud as I could, every inch of my body mustered this noise’

EXCERPT:

KILMEADE: "Couple of things, Oscar. Number one, I did not know that if you get within five feet of somebody with a rifle, you are okay, they can’t discharge it. Number two, what about your instinct to scream and yell? Was that adrenaline? Was that training?"
STEWART: "He can shoot at you for from five feet, but you have a very good chance of getting to him and preventing him from using his weapon. You can grab the muzzle and move it away. I don’t want anyone to go out and start chasing people down with guns. That’s absolutely not what I want to do. My instinct — I think it was a combination of training and instinct or just anger, maybe. Because, you know, you want to intimidate your enemy, and I was always taught that. That was ongoing thing. You want to intimidate the enemy. You want to be a hard target. You want to appear to be stronger than him and overwhelm him, and that’s what I did."
