One of the two victims of Sunday's deadly shooting inside an Oregon supermarket is being hailed a hero as new details emerge about the violence.
Police said that Safeway employee Donald Ray Surrett Jr., 66, attacked the gunman, who was carrying an AR-15-style rifle and a shotgun, with a produce knife in an attempt to disarm him, reported KREM-TV. The gunman, identified by police as 20-year-old Ethan Blair Miller, fatally shot himself in the back of the Bend, Ore., store, police have said.
A second victim, Glen Edward Bennett, 84, was shot and killed at the front of the store.
Both victims have GoFundMe pages to help aid funeral expenses.
In a touching tribute for Surrett Jr., Surrett's sister-in-law, Jerilynn Morra, wrote, "Don was a veteran and his instincts kicked in trying to save others. He was shot and killed trying to subdue the young gunman."
