'Riley Howell, I Believe, Is A Big Reason My Son Is Alive,' Says A UNC Charlotte Dad
Dave called his wife, Sharon, then grabbed his brother's and sister-in-law's hands and began praying.
"He took the assailant off his feet," Putney said at a press conference Wednesday."Unfortunately, he gave his life in the process. But his sacrifice saved lives.""We are grieving for them and want to thank them for raising a son who gave his life for others," Dave said."We are truly shaken, yet indebted to his heroism."
Sharon had her phone charging in another room, and when she noticed the missed call from an unknown number, she assumed it was a spam call. She's grateful her husband happened to pick up, realizing how easy it would have been for no one to answer and how panicked they would all have been if they'd seen the story on the news and not heard from Brandon.Dave has spent the last three days going over in his head what could have happened, finding himself in constant tears.
