PASCO COUNTY, Fla. — A Pasco County neighbor is hailed as a hero after deputies say he shot and killed an armed domestic violence suspect and helped free the victim's children from a dangerous scene.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office responded to a call in the Trinity area a little before 7 p.m. Wednesday night. According to Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco, the incident stemmed from a domestic violence attack.
Nocco said the domestic violence victim was inside the home, screaming for help. A neighbor who was mowing his lawn, heard the victim's cries and ran over to help.
As the victim was crying for help, she started moving a group of young children, who Nocco described as "elementary school children," to the home's second-story window. The neighbor helped lower the children to safety, Nocco said.
As the neighbor tried to deescalate the situation, the domestic violence suspect took out a gun and pointed at the neighbor.
The suspect opened fire but the neighbor was able to defend himself. The neighbor then shot the suspect, killing him on scene, Nocco said.
Nocco described the neighbor as "a hero."
"Protecting somebody's life is a priority," Nocco said in a press conference Wednesday night.
Nocco said deputies found blood in the house and the home was "in disarray." Officials did not specify the severity of the domestic violence victim's injuries or if she was hurt.
ABC Action News talked to numerous neighbors that were shocked to hear what happened. Neighbors tell us it was a husband and wife involved in the domestic violence situation, and they have three young children.
"I couldn’t imagine. I would never suspect anything like that," Rick Sells said. "Potentially, it could draw everybody closer together and that’s what we can hope comes out of it is that it will bring neighbors closer together, in time I think it puts everybody on alert. You never know what’s going on down the street. Like I said, as a family man, a father myself with kids that’s the first thing that comes to mind. Those kids what they had to go through the experience what the future is going to hold for them too."
