        He stopped the shooter without a gun. He just used his brains and a bit of force to do it. Amazing young man. He saved a lot of people including himself by his quick thinking actions.

        Brave young man... he may have saved the lives of many... and @realDonaldTrump is not willing to do anything about gun control. Who are the real killers here?? Trump/NRA
