Bus driver Robert McCort was driving from Miami to Detroit when he saw two men and a woman holding a gun on a state trooper near Jacksonville, Fla. McCort stopped his bus and started running toward the scene. Several tractor-trailer trucks had stopped, too, and a woman in one of them handed McCort a .38 cal. revolver as he ran past. Fired upon, McCort, a member of the Jacksonville Police Reserve, responded with a volley of shots which drove the gun-wielding criminal away. The trooper was freed unharmed and the two accomplices arrested.
