Vigilante Nearly Shoots Officer Trying To Help Stop A Suspect!
Parma, OH - A frenetic chain of events unfolded in Parma on Tuesday night when an officer and a vigilante converged on a suspect’s car, leading to a shooting and police chase.
According to Parma Police, an officer pulled over a suspect, Shon Burton, 22, of Cleveland at Snowville Shopping Center for driving erratically and running a red light.
As Burton came to a stop, the vigilante, a concealed carry gun owner, driving a Jeep blocked the suspect’s car in an attempt to help the officer.
The suspect rammed the Jeep and nearly hit the officer, leading the gun owner to open fire on Burton.

Officers discovered a loaded sawed-off shotgun in the area of where the Burton crashed.
The concerned citizen, who shot at Burton, was not charged.
He told police he feared for his life, and the officer’s, which prompted him to open fire as his Jeep was being rammed. Posted by Abdul
