In Dawson County, Georgia, Sergeant Randy Harkness thought he was performing a simple act of kindness—offering a ride and some money for food to a homeless man. But the situation turned dangerous in an instant when the man unexpectedly attacked the officer.
Quick-thinking and armed with a legal firearm, a bystander sprang into action. She fired two shots, stopping the assailant and likely saving Harkness’s life.
The sheriff hailed the woman as a hero, praising her decisive intervention. While the incident remains under investigation, authorities do not expect her to face any charges.
