A routine traffic stop turns deadly. That's the nightmare for any police officer. You are just going about your job and something goes wrong. It could potentially end your life.

Officer Darryle Streeter faced this very scenario one day. From Batavia, New York, he was driving down the road when he spotted a car driving down the street with an illegal tire. It was a minor infraction that a driver would receive a warning about. Then, Officer Streeter spotted something else. Or should I say someone else.

The vehicle's passenger was a man by the name of Brandon Fogg. He had allegedly gone to someone's house and started banging on the door. The resident decided to file a trespassing claim with the police. Unfortunately, Fogg was gone by the time police arrived. Streeter decided to pull the car over and have a talk with Fogg.

After stopping the car, the officer went around to the passenger's side of the car to talk with him. Fogg tried to flee the vehicle. Streeter stopped his escape and started grappling with him and took him down to the ground. Fogg wasn't giving up and the two wrestled around on the ground.

Then, it happened. Fogg stuck his hand in his pocket and brought out a gun. The officer recounted what happened next. Fogg was trying to turn the gun to his head. It's something Streeter will likely never forget.

Before Fogg could do something worse, someone stepped in. Office Streeter saw a hand come down and remove the gun from Fogg's hand. Ralph Bush had just gotten off work at O-AT-KA Milk Products, where he was an employee. He got into his car and looked in his rearview mirror. He saw the two struggling and then a pistol appeared.

Bush, a veteran, wasn't going to let the officer get shot. He ran over and plucked the gun out of Fogg's hand. The good news is that Officer Streeter wasn't shot and no one got hurt.

The pistol ended up being a BB gun, but that doesn't make a difference. Bush is definitely a hero who saved an officer's life. Bush and Streeter have become quick friends and even made plans to go fishing.

Quick thinking and action on the part of a stranger saved Streeter's life. What do you think of Bush's heroics? Let us know and tell your friends about the story by passing it along.
