- The North Carolina college student credited with saving lives by tackling a gunman firing at his classmates was remembered on Sunday as a person who died, the way he lived, “putting others first.”
Riley Howell, 21, was one of two people killed on Tuesday at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte when a former student opened fire inside a classroom of nearly 50 students. Four other students were injured. “Riley, thank you for being the big brother I never had, thank you for being my hero before you were everyone else’s,” said one friend who spoke at the televised memorial in a packed, 1,900-seat auditorium in Waynesville, North Carolina.
Howell, an environmental studies student, was described as adventurous, passionate about life and all living things.
