A U.S. Army veteran who stopped a suspected gunman from fatally shooting more people in a Colorado club says he isn't a hero, and he's mourning the people who died, including his daughter's boyfriend.
"There are five people I could not help, one of which was family to me," Richard Fierro said during a press conference outside his home Monday night.

He said he grabbed the suspect's pistol from him and began "wailing" on him and beating him while telling a bystander to get the gun the suspect had been using away. The suspect used a legally purchased assault-style rifle, according to officials briefed on the investigation
Fierro said his daughter was injured in the incident and is recovering from her injuries while grieving for Vance.
