— EMT Bre Jackson just had lunch at Chipotle when she heard gunshots and saw an injured bystander.
HOUSTON — An EMT who had just finished her lunch break saved an injured bystander of a road rage shooting.
EMT Bre Jackson was finishing her lunch break at Chipotle when she heard gunshots and saw an injured bystander.
“I had just grabbed lunch and I heard gunshots as soon as I walked out of the door,” Jackson said. “I immediately went to my car to seek shelter and as I was driving out trying to exit, I see the woman who was injured on her knees and her holding her face and screaming,”
“She was right there on the ground with a few people around her and I could see she had blood all over her clothing,” Jackson added. “So I just parked my car right there in the entrance of the HEB and I ran out to her. She was saying that she was in pain, and I was just telling her you know ‘I understand you’re in pain but try to remain calm. EMS will be here soon.’ Definitely with my training, it’s easier to remain calm in situations, thankfully.”
When Simon described Jackson as a hero, Jackson said she was just doing her job.
“Any EMS, any trained professional would have done the same in the situation. I did nothing special at all,” she said.
According to the victim’s brother, a bullet was lodged in her cheek after grazing her ear and face, but she will recover. The incident is currently under investigation.
