Riley Howell, thank you for your bravery and your sacrifice so that others could live. I pray the young boys and girls who survived will live fruitful lives that will honor that sacrifice. Thank you to the Army and the ROTC for giving him a full military funeral service. It was well deserved. ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️ #RileyHowell #Hero

Remembering #RileyHowell who tackled the gunman who opened fired in a UNC classroom in 2019. The ROTC cadet was shot 3 times while tackling the gunman so forcefully he caused internal bleeding to the gunman ending the assault. #Purpleheart #silverstar

Unfortunately, #NC12 is all too familiar with the effects of gun violence. #RileyHowell and #ReedParlier are two of the many lives taken way too soon due to gun violence. #StopGunViolence

Three years - never forget what a true hero looks like. #rileyhowell

#RileyHowell was a hero for @unccharlotte, but he shouldn’t have had to be. Gun violence is an epidemic in America, with firearms being the leading cause of death for children and teens in this country. Don’t become numb to the violence. This isn’t an acceptable normal.

May we never forget these brave two young men that were murdered in the classroom at #UNCCharlotte 2 years ago. Prayers to their families and prayers to the other students who were injured. RIP #ReedParlier RIP #RileyHowell ✝️🙏🏻🙌😥 #49ERS #CharlotteStrong

It will always be to late for these new gun regulations to save Riley and the loved ones others lost to gun violence, but these executive actions by the Biden Admin, will save someone else’s family from the heartbreak of senseless gun violence. @AMarch4OurLives #RileyHowell #🤟🏽
