Left for Dead: The Park Ranger Shot 9 Times Who Fired Back

Left for Dead: The Park Ranger Shot 9 Times Who Fired Back

In this powerful episode of Heroes Behind the Badge, we tell the extraordinary survival story of Utah State Park Ranger Brody Young. While patrolling alone on a November night in 2010, Ranger Young approached a vehicle at a remote trailhead outside Moab, Utah. What began as a routine check ended with Young being ambushed and shot 9 times at point-blank range.

Despite catastrophic injuries to his heart, lung, spine, and internal organs, Young refused to give up. Using his tactical training, he returned fire with his non-dominant hand, performed a one-handed reload, and eventually reached his radio to call for help.

Young shares the critical decisions and actions that saved his life, including:

  • The moment he chose to fight rather than give up
  • How specific training allowed him to shoot through his patrol vehicle
  • The technique he used to control his breathing while bleeding out
  • His remarkable journey from death's door to returning to duty

Now serving as a Lieutenant, Young discusses his book "Nine Miracles" and offers vital lessons for other officers about survival mindset, tactical preparation, and the importance of physical and mental wellness in law enforcement.

Join hosts Dennis Collins, Craig Floyd, and Bill Erfurth as they explore this incredible story of resilience, forgiveness, and the unbreakable spirit of those who wear the badge.
