A Houston firefighter says his instincts from training immediately kicked in when he was off-duty Easter Sunday and helping to save a man's life. Chas Martin is still emotionally and mentally shaken from the gas station shooting that was on Facebook Live. As he gained his composure during an interview with Eyewitness News he said, "I'm sorry, it is just kind of rough talking about it." The victim, Devyn Holmes, was shot in the head during the video that was posted on several different social media sites. He was sitting in a car with a man and woman. Police say they were playing with two guns when the woman, Cassandra Nickcole Damper, accidentally fired a shot.
