Paul Contreras is the hero who tackled one of the suspected shooters at the Kansas City parade. He said he did not hesitate when he saw the shooter running by.
He said; “I didn’t hesitate. It was just do it. So I went to go tackle him and another gentleman did the same thing and as I’m tackling him, I see his weapon either fall out of his hand or out of his sleeve.”
“It seemed like forever, but it probably wasn’t, it was like 30 seconds holding him down… Where’s the cops? Get the cops over here, get the cops over here.“
