ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – Albuquerque Police are calling one man a hero after he opened fire in the middle of a busy intersection Sunday evening, breaking up and preventing a possible double homicide.

Monday night, APD released new details about the gunfight that broke out Sunday in the middle of Gibson, near Yale.

Officer Simon Drobik said around 5 p.m., a woman was driving her daughter to the airport when her estranged husband, Qian Ming, 66, intentionally crashed his truck into hers.

According to APD, Ming then got out of his vehicle and fired a couple of rounds into the wife’s truck, striking his daughter on the shoulder.

At that time, Officer Drobik said a 34-year-old Good Samaritan pulled up to what he thought was a crash. He witnessed Ming beating his daughter with a gun in the middle of the street.

“Once he started walking up, he saw that there was a male violently pistol-whipping a female in the street,” Officer Drobik said. “He got out of his vehicle and had his firearm on him and told that male to stop.”

That’s when the Good Samaritan, who is not being named at this time because he’s currently not facing any charges, told police Ming pointed the gun in his direction.

Police say the man then fired at least one shot, hitting and killing Ming.

“Mom in the hospital said, ‘He saved our lives,'” Officer Drobik said. “You can’t get a stronger statement than that. So she knew it. Daughter knows it and good thing he took that type of action.”

Officers did detain the man for questioning. He was released later that night. Officer Drobik said the man is a 12-year veteran of the National Guard.

Police did not say if the reason Ming’s estranged wife and daughter were headed to the airport was to get away from him.

The daughter is still in the hospital but is expected to be okay.

Thanks. We won’t be seeing this in AP News.

Ummm....intentionally crashing your into another vehicle, shooting one of the occupants, and violently pistol whipping the other occupant is NOT a domestic dispute - it's attempted murder.

Depends on your perspective. I mean, some people think domestic terrorism is workplace violence...

High marks for the actions of the good samaritan. While mother and daughter are now safe it is tragic that it took these events to make it so. All are affected, including the good guy. Best wishes for those involved.

Nice shot

I work very close to where this happened. Sounds like a good shoot.

Immmm, yeah it is. If it has a domestic relationship, that makes it domestic. If the article is correct, this was domestic related.

And it really matters not. The assault and shooting of the daughter was exceptionally cleared.

One dumb shit taking a dirt nap?

I love a happy ending!

I'd start sending in more money to the NRA if they made commercials about these actions and the events they report in the 'The Armed Citizen' columns in their magazines. The average citizen doesn't hear enough of these actions by legally armed people.

FIFY These types of people exercise little that could be considered 'thought'.

Good for the good Samaritan. He may very well have saved the lives of two people.

Indeed...one shot fired, perp DRT. Nice shot placement. Kudos, brother. Nerves of steel.

Just hope the mom and daughter can get over the injuries and trauma they suffered, but their lives go on and will be much better from now on I think.

I really want to start saving these articles for future discussion with the liberals who think if good people give up their guns, so will the criminals.

Death to MING!!!!

Ming die nasty.

If NPR did carry the story it would be headlined:
