NEW: Man filmed dancing just moments before he blew his head up after placing a firework on his hat during 4th of July celebrations.
South Carolina man Allen Ray McGrew passed on Thursday in a tragic firework accident.
The 41-year-old reportedly placed a firework on top of his hat which blew up, immediately ending his life.
"I thought he was just showboating... I didn’t realize he had already lit it," his wife told the NYP.
"He loved this country and looked forward to celebrating every year."
"Just before the incident happened, he hugged me and his son and said, 'You are my rock, and you are my heart.' Me being his rock and his son being his heart."
🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: A father of a child who was killed in the Uvalde school shooting SLAMMED Texas legislators for their “useless thoughts and prayers.”
Brett Cross boldly testified in front of a Texas House committee in support of legislation that would raise the minimum age to buy semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21.
Brett Cross: “I'm so sick of hearing those three words from our elected officials…
While your prayers may have comforted you, they did nothing to absolve our pain...
Your thoughts and prayers didn't stop an 18 year old from purchasing two high powered semi automatic rifles and all of those rounds of ammunition.
Your thoughts and prayers didn't stop us from having to bury our children and two teachers.
Your thoughts and prayers haven't done anything in the 329 days since Uziel was shot through his stomach exiting his spine.
Your thoughts and prayers are useless unless you have thought and prayed for legislation that you can help enact that could change this.”
Thank you so much to Brett Cross and these BRAVE parents for speaking out!
💙💙💙
HUGE: After @MomsDemand volunteers and survivors - including families from Uvalde - showed up today at the statehouse, a *bipartisan* group of lawmakers voted to move legislation that would raise the age to purchase an assault weapon from 18 to 21. #txlege
I’m running for U.S. Senate because Texans deserve a Senator whose team is Texas. Ted Cruz only cares about himself.
