Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch broke down at a press conference discussing the young man’s heroism: “Zaevion Dobson, a 15-year-old Fulton High School student and football player, was struck and killed after he had jumped on top of three girls to shield them…to shield them from the shooters.”
A teary-eyed and choked-up Rausch paused for several seconds before he could finish the sentence.
WATE-TV reports that “three males with possible ties to a gang fired into a crowd of kids preparing to celebrate the holidays.” The television station noted that Dobson “jumped on top of three girls to shield them from the bullets.”

“That speaks to his character,” Fulton High School principal Rob Speas noted about Dobson’s last gallant act. “As a sophomore, he was a leader. He was a kid that other kids wanted to be around.”

A hero. May God bless and be with his family during this difficult time.
God bless him for saving them. Bless his family and provide them with peace and comfort. No parent wants to bury their child but atleast he died saving others. Bless the girls families too. The court to adjudicate the killers to life w/o parole.
A real hero for sure
One less hard to find good man. A tragedy.
No way he looks like Obama's son
