Airlifting a murderer to a hospital is truly a waste of resources.

[wjowsley]

It's unfair that this young man lost his life but the shooter survived. Truly unfair.

[NimmoLight]

It's the worst kind of criminal: playing on the sympathies of Good Samaritans.

[GiveMeTheTee]

This is why I won't help strangers anymore.

[Puglover-jkul]

And this is why people don’t stop to help others. Hard to trust anyone. RIP to an honorable man

[Danyegyptian]

His parents raised a true man. He went out like a hero and they should be proud of him.

[tqozkvm]

I like how they are almost afraid to show what the suspect looks like.

[EducatedNow]

Thieves like this ruin mankind, making people think twice about helping others. Sickening.

Adam's heart seemed too big for this world. Dude went out like an honorable man, what a loss for todays society.

[MotivationSpeechClips]

Passing away in her arms is heartbreaking

[xandervc]

It's rare to see good people like this. Good partners like him. RIP 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼.

This is why I drive past people who wave at me for car help. I always feel so awful not helping but paranoia just takes over

[yvettezollinger]

I’m truly disgusted that kind and decent people are murdered so that others may steal. How heartbreaking for this young woman and his family.

[cliffordhill]

This sounds like a classic case of the Good Samaritan where a man tries to help a total stranger and they try to rob him. Things like this are the reason in a nutshell why most folks don't even take a chance on helping someone

[humourlessjester]

We live in a world where kindness is punished. Truly a tragic story from this good man. Rest in peace, brother.

[gteeibe]

I worked with a guy who survived taking a bullet for his wife. Forever paralyzed from the waste down. One of the best attitudes I’ve see from a person. Always upbeat and smiling. Shoutout to Ben!

[realleonardodavinci]

Shooter survived and airlifted to the hospital...wow!!

[vichenzadoorian]

And then we airlift the shooter to the hospital, what a waste of taxpayer dollars.

I'm so sorry for her loss, what a true man and hero you had.

[therhythmatic]

This really pisses me off because people want to help, if they see you having trouble, our natural reaction is to help, and they betrayed that trust. My heart goes out.

[TeaLurker]

Truly a hero. Heartbreaking, I can see how much they love each other. Praying for the best
