Thirteen-year-old Bobby Holloman is being praised for protecting a teacher when shots rang out during a game in North Carolina between St. Pauls Middle school and Lumberton Jr. High.
Gun shots rang out and Holloman, a 7th grader on the St. Pauls team, pulled teacher Donald Weller down close to the ground to keep him safe, FOX News reported.

Players were kneeling for a trophy ceremony when the shots rang out and the students jumped up and began to run for cover, WRAL noted.
Various cell phone videos of the incident captured of the sound of Holloman yelling, “Get down, Mr. Weller!” He then pulled him down to prevent him from being shot.
"In my book, that's right."

Afterward Holloman said, “I wanted to make sure everybody else was okay before I got down, because that’s right. In my book, that’s right.”
A 41-year-old woman was shot in the parking lot, but no one on the field was injured.
