thank you very much for telling us more about the victims. sarah duh shawn was inside the borderline bar with her friend, cody coffman, when the gunman opened fire. i talked to him last night before he headed out the door. first thing i said was please don t drink and drive, and last thing i said was, son, i love you. that was the last thing i said. and sarah joins us now. sarah, we are so so sorry for your loss and so sorry you had to endure this nightmare. yeah, it s pretty traumatizing but i m praying for the victims and for everybody to heal. yeah. especially families and friends and everybody who was
scary because you don t know what to do in the moments like that. you want to call and make sure they are okay, but you can t really do much. yeah, sarah, i mean, there s no handbook for something this traumatizing to happen to teenagers who are just going to a bar on a college country music night who are dancing and horsing around with each other. this is obviously not supposed to happen. how did you get the news that cody was still in there and was killed? all night i texted him and when i finally was, like, okay, we can call him, i called him and it was, like, nothing. i was worried and we had our friends around and they just kept asking, like, you have heard from cody? has anybody found cody?
from the gunman. that s the kind of boy that cody was or is. i m sure he was there helping shielding anything or anybody that he could. i know he went there with a few of his girlfriends, so i am hoping that he is okay. sarah, it sounds like that is what was happening, he was shielding you. yeah. cody was an amazing man and selfless in the way that i know he was put here to protect people. he was a very that s why i keep calling him my hero, because he was here for a reason
to protect people, which i knew at one point he wanted to join the navy or something like that. i know that s what his calling was, to make sure people were safe. when he what he did last night, he made sure people were safe. now we all have a beautiful guardian angel watching over us, and that s all we can do is pray and hope for peace. yeah. sarah, thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts about your friend, cody, and about your story. we are praying for you and it s going to be a long road, so take care of yourself. thank you. we want to remember those
