'He
loved me enough to take bullets for me': Star linebacker, 18, dies a hero after
shielding his cousin, 15, from Mississippi gunman who went on a shooting
rampage
Jordan
Blackwell (left and right), 18, was playing video games with Caleb Edwards, 15,
when Willie Corey Godbolt (inset), 35, burst into their living room in Mississippi
on Saturday night. Godbolt asked Caleb where his cousin's parents where - and
when Jordan replied that they had gone to another town, he allegedly started
spraying the room with bullets. As people scrambled to hide inside the
Brookhaven home, Blackwell, a star linebacker, used his own body to shield
Caleb from the gunfire. Godbolt was arrested seven hours after the rampage, in
which he allegedly killed eight people including a deputy sheriff. Police plan
to charge him with one count of capital murder and seven counts of first-degree
murder.
