We appreciate @ChrisCuomo’s sincere empathy for Tom & Natalie, the parents of Riley Howell, the heroic @unccharlotte student who was killed trying to take down the gunman to save the lives of others. #HonorWithAction#EndGunViolence
Just last week, Riley Howell died tackling the UNC Charlotte shooter. His parents joined me tonight. Their son didn't live that long of a life, but he made a difference this world. Nothing else will ever come close to that gift he gave to the rest of the students in his school.
We can do more than sit and watch: 2 weeks, 2 school shootings, 2 student heroes killed. The reality of their bravery is more impressive because it exists within the broader reality where these people and these horrible acts are counted instead of countered.
Riley Howell's relationship with his uncle Matt-Sale Howell led to a special moment during Sunday's memorial for the younger Howell https://t.co/wteXxmK92e
Speaker at Riley Howell funeral: "Where do heroes like Riley Howell come from? They are gifted at birth by a generous, loving God, and then raised by a family who wants the best for them"
Thanks to everyone for the love and support. More information on supporting Riley’s legacy will be posted to the Foundation’s website in the coming days. God bless. #RileyHowell
