Fan Became A Hero Overnight
On November 20, 2022, a mass shooting took place at an LGBTQ night club that took the lives of five people in Colorado Springs, CO. With his wife and daughter in harm's way, Army veteran Rich Fierro took action to disarm the active gunman. Because of Rich's brave reaction, he became a hero overnight. As news poured out about what happened in Colorado, we noticed Rich was a lifelong Chargers fan. It was time to do our part to honor Rich and his family. We were able to show the Fierro family our Chargers facility as the team prepared for their final home game against the Rams. With the whole team and coaching staff there to show respect to Rich, we gave him the VIP treatment on game day and a surprise that he will never forget.
