Patricia Legarreta and Jarell Brooks

"Jarell Brooks, the world commends you for your selfless bravery." Absolutely.

Here is the initial story posted here on FR to which this one adds the details to complete the picture.

Subsequently, the boyfriend who fled the theater proposed to his injured girlfriend (mother of his two children) at the hospital where she was being treated for a bullet wound, so now they are engaged:

'He just looked at me and he said, 'I know this is not the time and place, but will you marry me?' And I said, 'Yes,'' Ms Legarreta told CNN host Piers Morgan.

Many men wonder whether they would have the courage to risk their lives in order to save others. Jarell Brooks does not have that problem.

If Obama had a son he sure as hell wouldn’t look like this brave young man. A credit to America, we need more like him.

The dude puts his baby on the floor, jumps the balcony and does NOTHING to help his girlfriend escape, but runs out of the theater and then gets in his car to leave??? And, now she is going to marry this guy who didn’t even care enough to try to help her? That’s insane!
