A Fort Leavenworth soldier likely saved lives by ramming his car into a gunman who opened fire on a busy bridge connecting Kansas and Missouri, police say
Master Sgt. David Royer stood upright with his interlocking hands in front of him Thursday as he matter-of-factly recounted how he rammed his truck into an active shooter before heading home to hug his kids, mow the grass and have dinner.
The military police officer based at Fort Leavenworth likely saved"countless lives" with his quick action one day earlier when a gunman opened fire on a busy bridge connecting Kansas and Missouri, police said. "I don't necessarily myself feel like I'm a hero," Royer said."I feel as if most people in my situation would have done the same thing. There was nothing else I could do... I knew lives were in danger.
