The mayor said he had spoken to Mr. Fierro and was struck by his humility. Mr. Fierro started to go for it, but then saw the gunman come up with a pistol in his other hand. As he held the man down and slammed the pistol down on his skull, Mr. Fierro started barking orders. A person was passing by, and Mr. Fierro said he ordered her to stomp the attacker with her high heels. The whole time, Mr. Fierro said, he kept pummeling the shooter with the pistol while screaming obscenities.
