A Fresno police officer saved a woman who had been taken hostage by another woman with a knife. The officer kept warning the woman to put the knife down and she refused.

He waited for the right moment and took down the suspect.

Watch below:

 
Here’s more from Colin Rugg on the details:

Fresno police release bodycam footage of an officer firing at a knife-wielding suspect who was holding an innocent woman hostage.

Insane shot.

39-year-old Joanna Lopez was filmed holding a woman hostage with a knife to her neck.

The officer was seen strategically waiting to line up his shot before firing and k*lling Lopez.

The officer who made the shot is on paid administrative leave while the incident is under investigation.

This officer is not just a hero, but a great shot too! I hope he’s awarded for his courage.
