"The length of his heart far exceeds his height," said Sheriff Victor Hill. "We never ask him for anything but when he sees a need, he is Johnny on the spot!"
On Friday, May 18, shots rang out after a graduation ceremony at the school's performing arts center which is across the street from the school building.
As families were leaving, an argument broke out in the overflow parking lot which escalated quickly into gunfire.
Police said one 21-year-old was shot in the leg and taken to the hospital, another woman who was pregnant was pushed over and a third 40-year-old victim was shot three times in her chest.
The 40-year-old victim later died.
