Hailed as a Hero: UNC Charlotte attack
[MSN] Heroes emerged from the bursts of gunfire that killed two UNC Charlotte students and injured four others in their classroom late Tuesday afternoon, stunning a sprawling campus of nearly 30,000 students on the last day of spring classes.

Two students, Ellis Parlier, 19, of Midland, and Riley Howell, 21, of Waynesville, had been fatally shot. Four more were injured: Rami Alramadhan, 20, of Saihat, Saudi Arabia; Sean Dehart, 20, of Apex; Emily Houpt, 23, of Charlotte; and Drew Pescaro, 19, of Apex. Dehart has been released from the hospital and the other wounded students are expected to recover, Chancellor Phil Dubois said Wednesday.

But the toll could have been much worse, Putney said. Howell tackled the shooter and saved other lives, the chief said.
Bless him for having the courage to do what had to be done.
The athletically-built young man "took the assailant off his feet" before campus police officers arrived, Putney told reporters. Howell was apparently the second student to be fatally shot, he said.

Howell "did exactly what we train people to do you're going to run, you're going to hide and shield, or you're going to face the assailant," Putney said. "He did the latter (and) his sacrifice saved lives."
John 15:13-17 (KJV)
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
