In the bowling alley: Hero got in the way of shooters

Kenny Moore is president of the local youth bowling league. On Wednesday evening he gives training to about fifteen children and young people between the ages of seven and eighteen. Suddenly he hears a bang – “the loudest I’ve ever heard,” he tells News Nation Now.

It’s the moment Robert Card enters the Lewiston bowling alley armed with an AR-15 and shoots several people. “After that it was pure chaos,” says Moore. He suddenly sees the shooter wielding his weapon. Moore thinks his gun must have jammed; there is no other explanation at this time.

Four shots in the leg

And not only that: three brave people stood up to the shooter, even if they risked their lives. One of them is Thomas Giberti, operations manager of the bowling alley. Four shots from the gunman hit him in the leg.

Moore knows where the emergency exits are – and sends the screaming children outside. “If the gun hadn’t jammed, if he hadn’t had any trouble with the AR rifle, would he have gotten through the hallway where I was?” Moore has been wondering about that ever since.

“He’s a real hero!”

During the ceasefire, Moore is able to lead to safety another group of people who have taken cover from the shooter. Despite the heroic intervention of those present. The gunman kills seven people in the bowling alley and injures several, including children.

Thomas Giberti is currently in hospital and underwent emergency surgery. His cousin posted his photo on Facebook and wrote: “Please pray for my uncle! He had a successful operation last night. He is a real hero!” (neo)
