The woman was hanging from a bridge when the boys happened upon her, screaming at her 'Your life matters'
“She was like, one hand, and feet hanging already,” said Brandy Ezell, who was one of the students present. Another student, Joshua Velasquez, said it took the boys a minute to realize what was about to happen. “I realize what was going on when her foot started dangling,” Velasquez said. “Then after that, we all ran down as a team to go tell our coach.”
Athletic director and coach Murray Elliott heard the boys screams and once he was informed what was going on, he called 911 and told the kids to head back to the bridge to try to get the woman’s attention, . “I said immediately, ‘Go back up and get her attention. Tell her her life matters,’” he said. “So for a whole 10 minutes or so, they did not stop yelling, screaming, telling her, ‘Your life matters.’”“And it’s not like she was holding onto a rail. She’s holding onto concrete. That’s it. It was scary.”Authorities were able to confirm the student’s story, reporting a 47-year-old woman was considering jumping from the bridge to her death before the group of middle schoolers saw her.
“She took a glance and hearing those kids, it registered to her, ‘I can’t do this in front of them’,” Murray said. The boys pleaded with her to pull herself back up, and eventually, she did. They saved her life that day and their quick thinking is a reminder to all of us that if you see something, do something.
