Patricia Maisch, 61, talks to the media outside her home Sunday in Tucson. She is credited as one of the four instrumental in disarming the man suspected of killing 6.

Three men and a woman were instrumental in disarming and tackling the man suspected of killing six and injuring 14 in Tucson during a political event for Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, according to Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik.

Dupnik identified the heroes as Patricia Maisch, Roger Salzgeber, Bill Badger and Joseph Zamudio.

According to Dupnik, Maisch was in the rear of a line of people waiting to take a photograph with Giffords, when the suspect began firing his semiautomatic weapon.

When the shooter tried to load a fresh magazine into his Glock 9 mm gun, Maisch grabbed the bottom of it, preventing the magazine from being inserted, Dupnik said.

This pause in shooting allowed Salzgeber and Badger to tackle the suspect to the ground and hold him until deputies arrived, Dupnik said.

A fourth participant, Zamudio, restrained the suspect's legs, Dupnik said.

Sounds like a plan..... just think of all the money the police can save using this proven technique instead of buying guns and paying for range time.

"Wait till the shooter runs out of ammo and then CHARGE!!!"
