Lorenzo F. Luckie, 51, physician, attempted to save Elmer L. Gustafson, 33, and rescued Neal Hultslander, 39, bacteriologists, from a homicidal attack, Fresno, California, May 11, 1928. As Hultslander opened the door of the laboratory that he and Gustafson operated, he was shot twice by a man with a revolver. The man then aimed the revolver at Gustafson. Hultslander dropped to the floor and grabbed the assailant’s legs. Luckie was a few feet from the side of Gustafson, and, as the man aimed at Gustafson, Luckie sprang from the chair in which he was sitting and struck at the assailant’s arm. At that moment the revolver was discharged, and Gustafson was shot. After a prolonged struggle between Luckie and the assailant, during which the assailant kept trying to shoot him, Luckie succeeded in disarming the man. Hultslander recovered, but Gustafson died. Luckie sustained a fractured rib in the struggle. 28810-2334
