RICHMOND, Va. — Adam Turck was mortally wounded Saturday morning when he stopped to help a stranger involved in a domestic dispute in Richmond, according to a combination of accounts from friends, witnesses, and police.
Turck was shot by one of the people involved in the dispute. That person later shot themselves.
“Adam will be 35 years old when he passes in the next few days, after donating his organs to help save the lives of others. That’s what heroes do—they save the lives of others,” Turck’s loved ones wrote in a statement sent to CBS 6. “Adam put his life on the line to protect someone in need, and we will forever remember him for this sacrifice.
