When news broke the next morning of shots being fired on the base, Shane Walters called his son’s cellphone repeatedly throughout the day. Shane Walters told The Associated Press on Sunday that his son died standing watch at the classroom building where the shooter opened fire. Cameron Walters had just arrived in Pensacola after graduating from boot camp in Great Lakes, Illinois, on Nov. 22, the sailor’s father said. “Partly to follow in his dad’s footsteps, to get a better purpose in life,” Shane Walters said. And it’s not even his birthday yet,” Shane Walters said.
