That's when Stevens went to his car and grabbed his .45 caliber pistol.

Perry Stevens fired four shots into Temple's torso. Officer Harrison had already fired one shot into Temple's abdomen. With Temple still struggling with the officer, Perry continued to advance toward the scuffle.

Holy Cow! What the heck was that guy on? You'd think 4 .45 slugs (and probably a 5th 9mm) would get the point across.

Some people don't quit when you think they should.

Switching to a head shot might have been beneficial if the shot was available.

That's what he did- 4 to the body, BG continues to fight and ignore commands, citizen advances and puts one in his dome.

Both Phares and Baton Rouge Police Chief Jeff LeDuff stopped short of crediting Stevens with saving the officer's life. LeDuff says the entire incident is unfortunate.

"I spoke with his father at the scene briefly," said LeDuff. "I think this is a tragic situation all around."

9 News is told George Temple has a criminal record, and Officer Harrison was involved in a shooting while employed as a prison guard in East Baton Rouge Parish, where he was suspended for three days back in 1995.

It sure sounds like Stevens saved the officer's life. Good on him.

I mentioned this story over on TPI and it was pointed out that it actually happened in 2006. I think I saw it on a blog presented as new and never checked the dates. Anyway, more detailed information here:

If this is accurate the officer was indeed screwed without Stephens' intervention.
