High School Hero

azfinfanmangLuxury BoxOPNow THIS is an incredible story.
Tuesday morning began just like any other morning for football star Kaleb Eulls.
Eulls and his three younger sisters were among 22 passengers on a school bus bound for Yazoo County High School in western Mississippi until a 14-year old female student boarded the bus armed with a .380 semi-automatic handgun threatening to shoot and ordering the bus driver to pull over.
"My sister that was in front of me woke up and told me that the girl had a gun," Eulls said. "She was pointing it back and forth at other people and the little kids that were sitting at the back. I just thought real quick and tried to grab her attention before she pointed the gun at anybody else. I wanted her to point it at me so she wouldn't point it at anybody else."
Are you freakin kidding me? Remember, this is a High School kid we are talking about folks. Going all John Wayne and stuff....
Eulls then opened up the emergency door located in the back and began evacuating as many students as he could from the rear of the bus while trying to reason with the armed female.
"I just tried to talk to her and calm her down," said the 6-foot-4, 255-pound Eulls. "She was just getting louder and louder. I guess for a quick second she looked out the window and when she did that I just sprung at her. I just knocked her down and got the gun away from her. When I got the gun I ran out the back door and disarmed it."
Eulls, who is a four-star defensive end that is verbally committed to play football at Mississippi State next year, was not concerned for his own well being at the moment. He selflessly did what he thought was the right thing to save the life of the others on board.
I hope this kid plays for the Phins after College.......ahhh, who am I kidding. I dont give a Rats Ass who he plays for, I will cheer this kid on till the end of time
And that boys and girls, is indeed a TRUE hero in every sense of the word
