Concealed Permit Holder Frees Woman Held Hostage for 20 Hours

On May 15, concealed carry permit holder Henry Oppenheim saw his female neighbor being beaten and intervened by drawing his gun and holding the attacker at bay until police arrived.

 What Oppenheim did not know at the time was that his neighbor had been held hostage “for more than 20 hours” and was only outside where she could be seen because she was trying to escape.

The incident occurred in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

According to WTAJ News, Henry Yancey held his ex-girlfriend hostage for over 20 hours prior to the attempted escape. While she was captive, he “allegedly physically assaulted her…threatened to kill her and stabbed her in the leg.” Yancey was naked when the ex-girlfriend tried to escape.
