Villanueva said he saw two people fighting over a gun and then he blacked out.
From his hospital bed, Villanueva tearfully said he's been thinking a lot about Micah Flick -- the fallen deputy -- and Flick's family.
"I'm just glad I have my life still," Villanueva said. "I'm sorry for their family and everything."
Flick will be laid to rest in a ceremony on Saturday in Colorado Springs.
