As the tragic story continues to unfold, a tale of heroism by one young man killed in the senseless violence emerged today. One of the victims, 16 year-old Tate Myre, was shot and killed while trying to disarm the shooter.  He has been recognized for his bravery nationally and in his community.

A petition was started on change.org to name the Wildcats football stadium after Tate.  The petition has attracted more than 50,000 signatures.

“Tate is not just a hero to his fellow students at Oxford high school but a legend, his act of bravery should be remembered forever and passed down through generations, he put his life in danger to try and help the thousands of other students at Oxford High School,” the change.org petition states.
