🚨BREAKING: New details about HERO Marine veteran who saved tons of lives helping a Massachusetts State Police trooper take Down a gunman who was opening fire all over Memorial Drive in Cambridge, MA.

The Marine veteran put his LIFE in harm's way to save a woman who was stuck in traffic where the gunman was shooting. She couldn't move her car and didn't know how to escape. That's when the hero Marine jumped into action.

Boston 25 News is reporting the woman as saying, "I could see the gunman, I could see him walking towards me. He was kind of waving the gun back and forth and then he would pick it up and shoot it.”

Stuck in heavy traffic with no way to turn around, Saveriano said she felt trapped and unsure how to escape the danger."

That’s when the Marine vet opened her car door and told her to run.

The report continued, “This man opened my car door and he said, ‘Run,’ and he kept the door open like as a barricade,” she recalled. “I didn’t even think about why he had a gun, but I could just tell that he was a good guy, and so I ran.”

The woman said, "The Marine shielded her from the gunfire and helped direct her to safety."

The woman then ran to a nearby hotel for safety, warning people there not to go out because of the shooting.

The woman told reporters that "she is overwhelmed with gratitude for the man who intervened."

“I don’t know who he is, and he doesn’t owe me that — to know who he is,” she said. “But I do hope that if he’s watching any of this coverage, he knows that he truly is an absolutely incredible hero, and I believe that he saved lives,” Boston 25 reported.

The Marine veteran was licensed to carry. He and a Massachusetts State Police trooper opened fire at the suspect and took the criminal DOWN.

The Boston Globe is reporting that the Marine told investigators he "retrieved a pistol from a safe in his vehicle and fired eight rounds at Brown."

Amazing heroic feat! Thank you, law enforcement, and the heroic Marine for stopping this criminal! If it weren't for them, the whole thing could have been much worse! It's time to get tough on criminals & put them in for life if they shoot at cops! We need law and order! Thank you, heroes!!! 💥💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
