Man shields his girlfriend from open gunfire in Dayton

24 year old Camryn Crowder was one of the heroes of last weekend’s shooting in Dayton that left 9 people dead.

Crowder was seen in the viral video using his own body to shield his girlfriend from open gunfire after she fell while they were fleeing from the scene.

“I saw people getting hit. I literally saw them fall…”. “I was certain that I was going to be next in line, really, at some point.” Crowder said.

At one point in the video, he was seen moving his girlfriend towards a section of the sidewalk that appears to be partially walled off while steadily checking to see if the shooter was still nearby. Crowder later helped his girlfriend up while they quickly escaped from the scene when it was clear.

The Dayton shooter Connor Betts killed nine people before he was shot and killed by police.
