On a seemingly ordinary night at the Ameristar Casino in St. Charles, Missouri, a heroic couple’s quick thinking and selfless actions saved a woman’s life after she was shot in the parking lot. The couple, who wishes to remain anonymous, shared their harrowing experience with KSDK.com in an exclusive interview.
The couple, who were visiting the casino for a night of fun and entertainment, never expected to be thrust into a life-threatening situation. As they were leaving the casino in the early hours of the morning, they heard a commotion in the parking lot. Initially thinking it was just a heated argument, they continued walking to their car. However, their instincts kicked in when they heard a gunshot ring out.
Without hesitating, the couple rushed towards the source of the sound and were shocked to find a woman lying on the ground, bleeding profusely from a gunshot wound. With no regard for their own safety, they immediately sprang into action, applying pressure to the woman’s wound and calling 911 for help.
“I wasn’t trying to be a hero,” the man said. “I just knew that someone needed help and I couldn’t stand by and do nothing.”
The woman, who was in critical condition, was transported to a nearby hospital where she underwent emergency surgery. Thanks to the quick actions of the couple, she is expected to make a full recovery.
Authorities are still investigating the shooting and have not released any information about a suspect. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but the couple’s bravery and quick thinking in the face of danger have not gone unnoticed.
“We are eternally grateful to the couple who saved this woman’s life,” said a spokesperson for the Ameristar Casino. “Their selfless actions exemplify the best of humanity and serve as a reminder that heroes walk among us every day.”
The couple, who are being hailed as heroes by the community, are humble about their actions and insist that anyone would have done the same in their shoes.
“I don’t consider myself a hero,” the woman said. “I just did what anyone would do in that situation – help someone in need.”
As the investigation into the shooting continues, the couple’s act of bravery serves as a shining example of courage and compassion in the face of adversity. Their selfless actions have not only saved a life but have inspired others to step up and make a difference in their communities.
