This is the face of a hero. And a gangsta.
From Yahoo! News:
A pair of 911 calls came in quick succession.Unwavering heroism in the face of evil. Much respect to you, Mr. Diaz Chacon. It's good to know there are still some heroes out in the world.
On one, a frantic 12-year-old says her little sister is missing. On the other is Diaz Chacon's wife, Martha.
"We are outside of my mom's house here," she told the dispatcher. "We heard a man going, 'Hey, hey let her go. Let her go.' So we turn around ...
"The man came running to us and said, 'They stole a little girl.'"
Phillip Garcia, 29, had snatched the girl moments earlier, taking her away in a blue van, police said.
Diaz Chacon jumped in his black pickup and gave chase.
It wasn't until the van crashed and the driver got out that any sense of fear set in for Diaz Chacon.
"When he got down I was thinking, what if he has a gun," he said.
Garcia fled on foot, and Diaz Chacon reached the girl and told her he would take her home. Garcia then returned to his wrecked van and took off but was later captured by police, authorities said.
Hidden under a rock just 25 feet from the van was packing tape and a tie-down strap, police said.
Inside the impounded van were tostadas, a glove, a Leatherman tool, a black satchel, orange strapping similar to the strap found hidden under the rock, police said.
"This little girl was very lucky," police Sgt. Tricia Hoffman said. "We can only guess what would have happened to this child."
