As reported by KHOU-TV, Garza, a middle school teacher living in a Houston apartment complex, witnessed the incident unfold as the 15-year-old girl was heading to her friend&#8217;s house shortly before midnight on July 28. She was not alone when she exited the METRO bus; a man followed her into the complex and began to assault her. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I looked out the window and saw a man attacking a woman on the ground&#8230; trying to take her clothes off,&#8221; Garza recounted to the station. Although he was only wearing boxers at that moment, he quickly grabbed his gun and rushed outside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I ran out and asked what was happening. The girl screamed, &#8216;I\u2019m 15, help me!'&#8221; Garza said. He aimed his gun at the assailant and ordered him to stop attacking her. The suspect reportedly had hold of the girl&#8217;s hair; according to a neighbor&#8217;s account, without intervention from Garza, she likely would have been sexually assaulted.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At first I was scared; I thought she might get raped,&#8221; said an unidentified neighbor. &#8220;If he hadn\u2019t come out, she probably would have been assaulted.&#8221; Thanks to Garza&#8217;s presence with his firearm, however, &#8220;He immediately let go of her and started running after her while I chased him down so she could escape,&#8221; Garza explained.<\/p>\n<p>A report from KHOU indicated that law enforcement has arrested a man in connection with this incident but did not disclose when he was taken into custody or reveal his identity or potential charges against him.<\/p>\n<p>Doorbell footage clearly shows that without Garza\u2019s intervention, this situation could have ended much worse. Prior to his arrest, Andy Kahan\u2014a victim advocate for Crime Stoppers of Houston\u2014expressed concerns about how brazenly dangerous such behavior is: &#8220;If he&#8217;s willing to do this kind of thing makes me wonder if it&#8217;s not his first time? We need to get him off our streets.&#8221; Kahan also praised Garza for stepping in: &#8220;I take my hat off to you; you did the right thing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Garza admitted feeling scared too but emphasized that helping someone in need outweighed his fear: &#8220;She needed help more than I was afraid.&#8221; His quick thinking\u2014and right to bear arms\u2014likely prevented an awful assault and contributed significantly toward apprehending a suspect.
