Fresno Police say they don't know why a man went on a deadly shooting spree on a busy street. It happened Thursday evening when officers say a man was firing at cars as they drove by. One person was killed and 2 others were injured. Police say 65–year old Nhia Lee of Fresno was killed in his pick–up truck. His wife was shot in the arm, but officers say she's going to be okay. Investigators say the crazy shooting spree could have been much worse if it wasn't for one man. "He said I've got to go. She asked him not to and that's when he said I got to go, duty," says Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer. Those are the last words a correctional officer told his wife before he pulled out his own gun and confronted the man shooting at cars. Police say the correctional officer is a former marine with weapons training and he didn't think twice about going into harms way. "He acted heroically and I don't think he sees himself that way, but I think he did what he needed to do," adds Chief Dyer. The shooting spree started when police say Joshua Lewis crashed his van. He jumped out of the car and tried to get into a red pick–up truck, but he couldn't. Investigators say he forced his way into a car and told the woman driving to go. They ended up at Shaw and Polk, where the guy went into a house. When Lewis saw that the woman drove off, officers say he went onto the busy street and starting firing at cars with a .44 caliber revolver. Police say he shot at the driver of a blue minivan, wounding the person so badly they're still in critical condition. Read More. |
