SILVER SPRING, Md. (7News) — Good Samaritans were caught on camera tackling an armed man accused of trying to murder a man on Saturday.
Montgomery County Police Department provided 7News with startling cell phone video showing the incident along Mount Pisgah Road in Adelphi.
The video starts moments after, police say, Marcus Conway, 24, of Hyattsville, shot a man in the leg and chest. You can see the victim in an orange shirt struggling with Conway in the grass.
"It's a gun baby. Get out of there!" a woman replies.
Just seconds later, Conway appears to regain control of the firearm and tries to shoot the victim in the head, but the gun jams.
Good Samaritans ultimately intervened. One person kicked Conway in the head as others held him down until police could get there. Those actions likely saved the victim's life.
