Keith Radtke is a hero! He saved his wife, got shot, subdued the attacker, and then waited 5 to 10 minutes for the police to arrive. That's one hell of a lawyer.
My brother is one heck of a guy!! I wanted to point out that he did not "help subdue" the attacker, he single-handedly fought with this attacker, even after being shot, and held him until police arrived.
I didn't mean to downplay it. I think what Keith Radtke did is amazing -- and would encourage folks to read the linked article detailing more fully how events unfolded.
