One of the hero Nashville cops who gunned down school shooter Audrey Hale
on Monday is a Marine Corps veteran who once rushed into action after a Christmas morning terror bombing.

Michael Collazo, a nine-year veteran of the police force, was among the
first responders at the 2020 bombing that injured eight in the Tennessee capital, Fox News reported.

“[He’s] obviously very brave, braver than I ever imagined,” his sister,
Deanne Collazo DeHart, told the outlet. “He really does love his job.

“When I sit and think about all the training and all the different classes
that he does, and all the family events that he’s had to miss because of training or leaving to go through this training or this class,” DeHart
said, “it all really does pay off.”

Collazo, 31, and fellow cop Rex Engelbert, 27, are both being hailed as
heroes after dramatic bodycam footage captured them rushing into the
Covenant School and taking down Hale.

The deranged shooter had already taken six lives, including three young children, and planned to kill more before she was shot dead, according to authorities.

Collazo, who was born and raised in Nashville, joined the Marines out of
high school and also served as a SWAT team paramedic, Nashville Police
Chief John Drake told Fox.

In 2020, he rushed to the scene after Anthony Quinn Warner, a demented 63- year-old conspiracy theorist, detonated a bomb in his RV around 6:30 a.m. Christmas Day.

The blast killed Warner and damaged dozens of downtown buildings,
including an AT&T facility that took out power over large swaths of
Nashville.

Meanwhile, Engelbert, a four-year police department veteran and one of the first officers on the scene Monday, received a department commendation
just one week earlier for “precision policing” after two busts that
recovered dozens of stolen credit cards and took a handgun, meth and
fentanyl off the streets.

“The seizures took two dangerous felons who had multiple outstanding
warrants off the streets of downtown Nashville,” the department said in a statement Thursday.

Nashville Police Officer Michael Collazo is a former firefighter and US
Marine Corps vet who was among the first responders to the city’s 2020 Christmas Day bombing.

Nashville Police Officer Rex Engelbert, a four-year veteran of the
department, received a commendation for two felony busts just one week
before Monday’s school shooting.

One expert called the bodycam footage of the hero cops response to Audrey
Hale a “training video.”

“We are so thankful for their dedication to keeping our city safe.”

The two cops’ swift response to Monday’s school shooting was so precise
and effective, one expert called the bodycam footage “a training video.”

“Look at the minute they heard shots fired,” veteran police trainer Betsy Brantner Smith, spokesperson for the National Police Association, told
Fox. “What did they say? ‘Shots fired! Shots fired! Move, move move!’ They
went faster, rifles first.

“They’re in there, patting each other on the back,” Smith said. “They’re
doing all the right things to encourage each other, knowing they’re
putting themselves in harm’s way, running toward gunshots to stop that shooter.”

Hale, 28, who was transgender, was shot and killed by the two officers.

Smith called Collazo “a person of selfless service.

“Marine, firefighter, cop,” she said. “It doesn’t get any more heroic than that.”

Nashville Police Officer Rex Engelbert fired the first shots that downed Covenant School shooter Audrey Hale on Monday, dramatic bodycam footage
shows.

She called Monday’s response to the school the “antithesis” of the controversial slow police response to last year’s massacre at Robb
Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two adults
dead.

Dave Katz, a former DEA special agent and now CEO of Global Security
Group, said Collazo and Engelbert should both be hailed for their actions.

“These guys need to be recognized and honored,” Katz said. “Our president should bring these guys both to the White House and put a medal on their chests.”
