Marine with Concealed Weapon Stops Woman's Beating

Victim was being kicked in the head by a guy

|

A Marine Corps veteran was able to stop a man early Tuesday, March 12th from nearly kicking a woman to death. It happened near 102nd and Lincoln, and Wisconsin's concealed carry law made his efforts possible.

Charlie Blackmore was driving home from work at 4:00 a.m. along Lincoln Avenue when he saw something on the sidewalk. Blackmore didn't realize it was a woman on the ground being kicked in the head and stomach until he got closer.

That's when he jumped out of his car and sprung into action.
