When
a gunman opened fire on the Seattle Pacific University campus last Thursday,
one person was killed and three were wounded. It could have been worse,
except that when he paused to reload,
student Jon Meis
jumped up and tackled the gunman, pepper-sprayed him, and was one of
the students who held him down until police arrived. A 22-year-old with a
spray can against an armed killer? You bet he’s a hero! How do you
reward such bravery?
Well, Jon is getting married to his girlfriend Kaylie
on June 21st. People soon discovered they were registered online, and within 24 hours,
all
the gifts were bought (except for those that cannot be purchased
online)! Then Jessamyn McIntyre, who does not know Meis, started a fund
to pay for their honeymoon and/or whatever. They’ve already raised
thousands of dollars. Read about how
the campaign spread across the internet at Buzzfeed.
