A licensed concealed carry holder, Perry calmly drew his firearm and confronted the suspect, issuing clear verbal commands to keep him at gunpoint. Eyewitnesses say Perry’s composed and decisive action prevented further harm until police arrived and apprehended the attacker.
No shots were fired during the intervention, and no additional injuries were reported after Perry’s involvement.
“He didn’t hesitate. He didn’t panic. He just acted,” said one witness, praising Perry’s bravery and calling him a hero.
Emergency responders treated the stabbed victims on-site and transported several to hospitals, some in critical condition. Officials noted that Perry’s quick response likely prevented a far worse outcome.
Local law enforcement commended Perry, saying his courage “almost certainly prevented further tragedy.”
This incident has sparked renewed national debate on self-defense laws and the role of armed citizens during emergencies.
