Good Samaritan shoots, kills suspect beating wounded DPS trooper on I-10
The suspect shot the trooper in the right shoulder, and was "getting the better of the trooper" in a fight that immediately followed.
Milstead said the suspect was on top of the trooper striking his head on the pavement.
According to Milstead, a man traveling westbound on I-10 with his wife in the car, pulled over to help the trooper.
The man retrieved a gun from his car and fired at the suspect after the suspect refused to stop attacking the trooper, Milstead said.
The suspect died as a result of the shooting and the man called for help using the trooper's radio, according to Milstead.
