For his service on May 15, 2000On the morning of May 15, 2000 Warden Gervis Myles watched two young men involved in a struggle with a woman seated in a car at a gas station in Milwaukee. Before he could act or summon the police, Myles observed one of the men shoot the female and run from the area. At great risk to his personal safety, Myles was able to pursue the two subjects and apprehend them at gunpoint. A pistol that had been dropped by one of the subjects was later found. The woman sustained a life threatening gunshot wound to the head. She survived her wound. The subjects were convicted of attempted murder. |
