This article comes from the History News Network, written by my former Prof @ NKU, and brother to Internet Sensation Instapundit Glenn Reynolds, Jonathan T. Reynolds:Many have probably heard of the tragic shooting and double murder at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. I just found out, however, that one of the heros of the event was Dr. John Bohstedt from the University of Tennessee Department of History. He was one of three members of the Church to tackle the attacker and prevent further bloodshed. One witness described that he was the first to hit the gunman... with a "flying tackle," no less.
Go check out the whole story.
J.T. Reynolds was one of my favorite profs at Northern, because of his easygoing manner, good relations with students, as well as his love of the blues. He is in a blues band, called 46 long.
