Austin, Texas – The City of Austin has awarded two Good Samaritans for saving a woman’s life during a shooting in northwest Austin.

Armando Zamora and Stephen Giovinazzo received the Distinguished Service Award.

Back in November, two men took on a shooter at a bar in northwest Austin. The militant tried to shoot his ex-girlfriend, who was at work.
