This is Aaron Salter Jr. By now, you've likely heard his story... but it's one that needs to be shared again and again. The 55 yr old was the security guard, the hero, who fired at the suspect — trying to stop the monster. Rest In Peace, Hero, Mr. Salter. 💔

This is Pearly Young. She was 77 and a member of Good Samaritan COGIC for over 50 years. She was killed by the monster who entered Tops and took her life. Everybody loved Pearly, including her nephew who tells me he has ‘stories of Pearly’ for days. Rest In Peace, Pearly 💔
