In Boulder, Colorado<\/a>, 32-year-old Louis Joseph Sebastian was charged with first-degree murder and carrying a concealed weapon after shooting 49-year-old Christopher King to death at a local restaurant. The pair were arguing outside the establishment when several shots rang out and King fell back through the door, followed by Sebastian who shot King twice more at close range.<\/p>\n

The chef, former Marine Bryan Daniels, leaped into action. He disarmed Sebastion and smacked him into submission then held him in a headlock until the police arrived. <\/p>\n

Here’s what Sebastian looked like in court after being restrained by the former Marine;<\/p>\n

Daniels, as it turns out, is no stranger to heroism.<\/p>\n

As a lance corporal in the Marine Reserves, he was honored in May 2014 with the nation\u2019s second-highest non-wartime award, the Navy and Marine Corps Medal, for what the Marine Corps called a \u201clife-threatening act of heroism\u201d during an incident in 2013.<\/p>\n

In early August 2013, he was working as a food delivery truck driver in Dallas when he happened upon a fiery crash on the highway that happened when a semi-truck drove off an overpass above and onto the highway below.<\/p>\n

Since no first responders were around, Daniels rushed to the cab of the truck and broke through the glass to try and save the trapped driver, despite the cab being nearly engulfed in flames… The driver did not survive, despite Daniels\u2019 efforts.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

A gunnery sergeant who presented the honor said that while others were running away from the scene, Daniels was seen on surveillance video being the lone person running toward the burning truck.<\/p>\n

But even then, as was the case when Denver7 spoke to him on Monday, he maintained he was no hero.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly it\u2019s kind of hard for me to accept people making a big deal out of it\u2026I wasn\u2019t a hero,\u201d he told the Marine Corps at the time. \u201cI was just trying to help another person.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
