        Glad to see he didn't die trying. Unlike the armed officers at parkland that didn't even try.

        He is a hero and skin color has nothing to do with it! His character stepped up and we need to remember that!

        At least all of the local coverage here in Nashville is stating the hero’s name loud and clear. City is about ready to throw a parade for the guy.

        This should get more coverage then the shooter. Hero's should get the attention/ popularity not the shooter
