The recent front-page article about the Lewiston shooting (“How ‘true heroes’ tried to stop a killer at a Lewiston bowling alley,” Dec. 22) as well as Victoria Hugo-Vidal’s column a few weeks ago were about the heroism of several people who tried to stop the shooter or used their bodies to protect children.
The Carnegie Hero Fund (carnagiehero.org) recognizes such people. In addition to the medal, it provides many kinds of support (funeral expenses, scholarships, financial support, etc.) for the heroes and their families.
There’s an application form on the website. I suggest that those who are closer to the events of that day look into it.
