On Tuesday, he was given another badge: the Congressional Badge of Bravery.
“I’m overwhelmed,” said Goins.
Goins was awarded the honor for his heroic actions back on November 14, 2018. He and a state trooper responded to an armed robbery and found the suspect at a bus station. The suspect opened fire, injuring Goins, but he still managed to shoot and kill the suspect before anyone else was hurt.
“No one wants that day to come, but it came for me that day,” said Goins.
