Hero distracted El Paso shooter by throwing bottles at him

“I saw him popping people off. To deter him I just started throwing bottles at him,” he recalled from his hospital bed.

“One went right towards him and that’s when he saw me.

“I ducked, and he just boop-boop-boop-boop started firing off rounds at me. I was like, ‘Oh my god, this guy is shooting at me.’”

Grant was shot twice, both bullets hitting near the ribcage. “When I got hit it was somebody put a hand grenade in your back and pulled the pin. That’s what it felt like,” he told the network.
