Firearm Training Saves Lives | Mass Shooting | New York | #firearmmentor #illinoisccl #2astrong

A Firearm Mentor student helped eight people survive a mass shooting.

Last summer, the student was pursuing his MBA and working as an intern in New York when a gunman entered his office building.

Four people were shot. A lockdown alert went out. The shooter reached the floor below.

The student acted.

He gathered eight people in a women’s bathroom. With another person’s help, he pushed a couch against the door.

Then he helped everyone stay calm and prepare to act together if their hiding place was breached. Fortunately, that never happened. About two hours later, a SWAT team escorted them safely out.

The intern, the person with the least authority, became the leader. The Hero.

We remember those who lost their lives. And we recognize the courage of those who helped others survive.

This student remained safe, stayed sharp and trained for the moment that mattered.

Preparation matters. Composure matters.
