Hero Driver Drags Injured Police Officer to Safety

A Texas driver helped a wounded police officer during a shooting. The drama erupted when cops got into a gun battle with a suspected carjacker. The driver, John Lally, sprinted towards an injured officer who screamed in pain from a bullet in his leg. Lally and another officer dragged the wounded cop behind a car. Lally tried to comfort the wounded cop as officers put a tourniquet on his leg. The injured officer was rushed to the hospital. Inside Edition’s Jim Moret has more.

"None of that defines you as a person. I've always had a good heart, just because I've done messed-up things." I can so relate.

If you have never been near active gunfire, you have no idea how hard it is to react when facing it. This man is incredibly brave. Most people would either freeze up or run for cover. But to run towards danger solely to help someone else is remarkable.

I pray the cop is doing well. Thank you to the man who helped in this situation.

He might be a cop, but he's still a person. This guy has a criminal background, but he's still a person. People helping people warms my heart.❤

This man is a hero and proved that people can change their way, not just by words, but through their actions. I commend him for stepping up to the plate and helping anyone in need. XO

Dude’s a hero and the fact that he has formerly committed crimes didn’t stop him from helping the officer and I love that; I love how he kept reassuring the officer he was there with him.

What a beautiful moment. Ex Cons can change not everyone maintains the same.

Helping that fallen cop, good for you. Brought a tear to my eye.

This is a likeable guy. He admits his faults, and is clearly striving to improve on his past. A perfect example of taking control of his life for the better. Right on brother.

This dude is awesome, really brave and selfless. To help rescue him and try to comfort him, while putting his safety on the line, that is amazing.

John, you're a great man for what you did!! Thank you for helping that man, regardless of him being an officer or not.

We need more of these stories in today times❤

I bet this man never thought he would be on the side of helping save a cop's life. He's always been the one getting apprehended by them. He's changed his life for the better, and was now the one who was able to help.
I love seeing and hearing about stories like this. Under that uniform, that officer is like any other injured man, and to refuse to help just because of his job, is disgusting.

[merhial]

you can't change the past, but you can change your future.
I was victim of a terrible crime and there's nothing I wish to see more than a criminal who genuinely understand the gravity of their actions and decided to become a better person. this, this made me f***in cry
you go man! you f***in go

[robertoautore]

Anyone can change from a bad person to a good person. This man is a perfect example.

[aliwooz]

You couldn’t pay me enough to to be a cop. Unreal what they have to go through on a daily basis. Thankful for this Good Samaritan for being brave enough to step in to help.
