‘Mexican Spiderman’ used bowling ball to help people escape Bay Area mall shooting
A self-described “Mexican Spiderman” smashed a window with a bowling ball to help people escape from a mall shooting in the Bay Area.
Cristian Rodriguez was bowling on Saturday (29 November) when he heard shouting and gunfire coming from the building next door.
Speaking to a reporter following the shooting at the Westfield Valley Fair in Santa Clara, Mr Rodriguez said: “I look around, I pick up the bowling ball, I like yank it and [the window] finally breaks,” later adding that he hopes he doesn’t get charged for the damage.
Three victims — including a man, woman and a 16-year-old girl — were discovered at the scene and taken to hospital to be treated for gunshot wounds.
