Assistant Coach
'Hero' Umpqua Community College Student Chris Mintz Speaks After Being Shot 7 Times
By MEGHAN KENEALLY 5 hours ago Good Morning America

The student and Army veteran who witnesses say charged the shooter at a community college in Oregon is alert and awake at the hospital as he recovers. Chris Mintz, 30, was shot seven times during the Thursday rampage, but he says his main concern is about the others who were injured. "I just hope that everyone else is OK," he told ABC News this morning.


The man’s actions in the fatal shooting, where 10 people died and seven, including himself, were injured, did not go unnoticed by his peers. "He ran to the library and pulled the alarms and he was telling people to run, grabbing people, telling them, 'You just have to go,'" witness Hannah Miles told ABC News.

"During the shooting both of his legs were broken and he is going to have to go through a ton of physical therapy," Mintz's cousin Derek Bourgeois wrote on the page. "He is a father, a veteran, a student, and now he's a hero," Bourgeois wrote on the GoFundMe page, beneath a picture of Mintz and his son.

He pulled alarms, ran through the building telling people to get out, and then charged the shooter. I wonder how many lives this guy saved? I guess we'll never know for sure[SIZE=12pt]—[/SIZE]but lots. He's a hero, that's for sure. A very brave hero.

With this shooting and the previous day's one in South Dakota, both shooters were stopped by people with guns. Enter the "but the media won't report that"

The guy in the story, Chris Mintz, didn't have a gun. But the sheriffs who killed the shooter did. That's what you mean, right?

 
I sort of mis phrased it, but yes, Mr. Mintz did help stop the shooting in a way,that he saved lives and such. But the sheriff put the guy down for good
