Wrestler Saves The Day

(CBS)  With six boys in the household, there's always a ready-made team on hand. But Chris Hermanson was on his own last November when he met the toughest opponent of his life.

It happened at a gas station convenience store in Omaha, late one night.

The clerk alerted him that something was going on. And several feet away, Hermanson saw a suspect wrestling on the ground with a police officer.

Hermanson says, "I yelled out to him to see if he needed help. And he said 'Yes, he's going for my gun.' So I ran out and came out here," he said, showing CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers where he stood that night.
