Ryan Keith Cox has been declared a hero for laying down his life for his friends during Friday’s tragic shooting.
Christi Dewar of Chesapeake, Virginia, has been an employee at Virginia Beach’s public utility department for 13 years. When she first started hearing popping sounds going off on Friday while at work, she initially thought nothing of it. To her, it sounded like it could be a piece of equipment being used, perhaps a nail gun. When an alarm went off and she realized that a shooting was taking place, she turned to one of her colleagues and best friends, Ryan Keith Cox. She urged him to join her in escaping to the break room, where she hoped they could hide from the shooter. However, Cox had a different plan, according to NPR.
