Police: Man killed trying to intervene in domestic violence
DALLAS -- Officials say when a retired Marine witnessed a woman get shot by her husband, he pulled out his own gun and attempted to stop the man from getting away, but was then shot and killed by the suspect, reports CBS DFW.
Suspect Ricci Bradden confronted his wife in the parking lot of the Walgreens where she works before allegedly shooting her in the leg, according to police. She was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment and is expected to recover.
Police believe Bradden was fleeing the scene when Anthony "T.J." Antell walked up to Bradden's vehicle, pointed his gun and directed the suspect to stop.
Police say Bradden, who is an Army veteran, has admitted to swatting Antell's gun out of his hand and then shooting Antell. The father of three, whose wife witnessed the shooting, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Bradden was taken into custody about two hours after the shooting.
