Riley Howell, the UNC Charlotte student who died after he tackled a gunman who opened fire on a classroom last week, will be buried with military honors.
Riley Howell, 21, was hailed a hero after he"took the assailant off his feet," Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney said in a press conference Wednesday, adding that Howell's actions saved lives.
Howell's public funeral was held at Stuart Auditorium at Lake Junaluska on Sunday. A rendition of"Amazing Grace" was played by a live band as his coffin was rolled into the auditorium and mourners filed into their seats."He taught me how to be tough," she said.
