A gunman killed two people when he opened fire on Tuesday at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Riley Howell, a 21-year-old from Waynesville, was most likely the last fatality in the school shooting, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Chief Kerr Putney told reporters on Wednesday. "You're either gonna run, gonna hide and shield, or you're gonna take the fight to the assailant," the police chief said. It would be an "understatement" to say Howell tackled the gunman, but it "would be appropriate," according to Putney. Putney described Howell as "the first and foremost hero as far as [he's] concerned" regarding the shooting, which also killed 19-year-old Ellis Parlier.
