A heroic pastor in Houston, Texas, is being praised for his courageous intervention when a suspect allegedly attacked his elderly neighbors. The incident, which took place on Greer Circle, could have ended in tragedy if not for the quick thinking and bravery of the pastor. According to the police affidavit, the suspect, identified as Kevin Conway, 66, stabbed his wife at one location on Greer Circle before she managed to escape and seek help from a neighbor.
The victim, in a state of panic, informed the neighbor about the attack and pleaded for assistance. As Conway approached them with three knives, the neighbor repeatedly asked him to drop the weapons, but he refused, making threatening remarks about both the victim and himself. Sensing the imminent danger, another neighbor who was present during the dispute used a leaf blower to strike Conway in the head, causing him to fall to the ground.
Both the victim and the suspect sustained severe injuries and were immediately transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The police determined that the injuries were grave in nature. It was later revealed that Conway had a history of violence, having previously assaulted and bitten the victim. She had obtained a protective order against him in March.
Conway now faces charges of first-degree assault, attempted murder, violation of a protective order, and second-degree threatening. He appeared in court on November 27 and is currently being held at the New Haven Correctional Center on a $75,000 bond.
This harrowing incident serves as a reminder of the importance of swift action and community support in times of crisis. The pastor’s bravery and intervention saved lives and prevented a potentially fatal outcome. It also highlights the ongoing issue of domestic violence, emphasizing the need for stronger measures to protect victims and hold perpetrators accountable.
