Mich. High School Football Star Died Trying to Disarm School Shooter
A high school football player died a hero Tuesday after being gunned down as he tried to disarm a student who brought a gun to his Michigan school and began shooting, killing four, and injuring eight others.
Tate Myre, a standout player for the Wildcats football team at Michigan’s Oxford High School, was fatally shot allegedly by sophomore Ethan Crumbley, a 15-year-old student at the school. Crumbley has been arrested and charged as an adult for the murders.
Three died immediately after the shooting on Tuesday, and a fourth died the next day.
The school’s football team mourned the loss of the talented running back:
It is with great grief that one of the victims of the tragic event at OHS today was one of our own, Tate Myre. Tate was on varsity since his freshman year and was an honor student. Tate was a great young man with a bright future and beloved by all. You will be missed, Tate 💙💛 pic.twitter.com/AKJCH1UWBG
