Student Peter Wang, 15, was killed during the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School where he was a member of the ROTC program.
He was one of the 17 victims of shooting suspect Nikolas Cruz, 19, a former student of the school.
Wang’s cousin Aaron Chen said Peter was last seen holding a door open so that others could escape the shooter.
Another cousin, Lin Chen, 24, said she wasn’t surprised to hear that.
“He is so brave,” she said. “He is the person who is genuinely kind to everyone. He doesn’t care about popularity. He always liked to cheer people up. He is like the big brother everyone wished they had,’’ added Chen, who flew in from Louisana to be with the family.
The alleged shooter legally purchased the AR-15, assault rifle used in the shooting at a gun store in Coral Springs, Florida.
Donald Trump, in his rather lackluster and unemotional remarks to the nation Thursday didn’t even bring up the issue of guns. Oh, by the way, the NRA gave his campaign over $30 million.
He wasn’t alone. Florida Sen. Marco Rubio tweeted, “Today is that terrible day you pray never comes.” He received $3.3 million from the NRA.
