Police in Philadelphia have credited a gun owner with saving a police officer who was being attacked by a group of teenagers.

“There were 40 kids. If it wasn’t for the good Samaritan stepping forward, he'd have been dead meat,” Upper Darby Police Superintendent Michael Chitwood told Philly.com. “There’s no doubt they would have attacked him.”
