I understand Howell was an ROTC cadet and because of that was given full military honors at his funeral. I would hope he would also be considered for the ROTC Medal for Heroism.

He tackled the gunman so forcefully that the suspect complained to first responders after his arrest of internal injuries, the parents said the authorities told them. Awwwww....what a shame.
Howell is a true American hero.

Unbelievable bravery in the face of enemy fire. As heroic as the guy who falls on the grenade. He should get the medal of honor or civilian equivalent.

What are the CCW restrictions on this campus? If they don’t allow adult students to take responsibility for their own safety, will the university be held at all responsible for not ensuring the safety of their students? If not, they should be.

This was a remarkable act of bravery. May God rest his soul.

I wouldn’t be surprised if President Trump presented him with some type of heroism award.

Im speechless in the face of such sacrifice. They need a statue of him at that school so his name and face are never forgotten.

I emailed the White House to grant him a commission. Kid is a hero.
Marvel comics movies make millions on BS fake CG. This kid deserves more.

To the max, 1,000% agree.
There need to be monuments built and buildings named.

Coukd Trump posthumously award him a Medal of Valor or the Presidential of Freedom? Sorry, I don’t know the protocol. Anyway, this young man deserves the highest order of recognition.
