The Goodness of America
Ex-criminal Turned Good Samaritan
When a Houston police officer was shot by a carjacking suspect during a shootout on November 11, an unlikely hero put himself in harm’s way to get the officer to safety.
USA Today reported that ex-convict John Lally thought he was being pulled over when he heard sirens and saw a police car in his rear-view mirror. He quickly realized the police vehicle was not targeting him, but instead was involved in a chase on US 59 in Houston’s West Loop. The chase ended in a crash.
“When I saw the car crash happen, I thought I was going to take somebody out of one of the cars,” Lally said. “It was like an explosion because there was so much noise and vehicles involved. I thought that was going to be the extent of it.”
