There are heroes among us everyday, walking the streets, willing to step up to the occasion to perform acts of valour in the darkest situations.

One of those darkest situations occurred Saturday, when a gunman opened fire at an El Paso, TX Walmart.

When the shooting started, U.S. army soldier Glen Oakley was shopping at the mall where the Walmart was located.

Having just obtained his concealed-carry license, he protected the children and physically carried them to safety.

Here’s a video of an interview with Glen Oakley in the aftermath of the shooting, where he talks about what he did:
