A gunfight erupted at a petrol station and amazingly, two men threw themselves in front of several customers to protect them from danger.

One of the men has been identified as a local firefighter named Trujullio. The pair rushed to the front and used their bodies as shields when a gunman opened fire at a New Mexico convenience store.

The Española Police Department released surveillance footage over the weekend which shows the incident from inside the store. According to NY Post, the cause of the gunfight has not been established yet.
