The NY Daily News reports a tearful Jansen Young
21
who escaped with shrapnel wounds on her side
said: "He's a hero
and he'll never be fotten. Jon took a bullet for me."
Blunk was a security guard who had served in the Navy and was planning to re-enlist. According to Jansen
Blunk wanted to bee a Navy SEAL. Shellie said: "To her
he was a hero anyway because he wanted to serve his country. He said that all the time: ‘I was born to serve my country.'"
'He was 6-feet-2
in incredible shape.'
Jansen said on NBC's "Today" that Blunk took her to see the midnight premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" to celebrate her graduation from veterinary school. According to MSNBC
the o
who had been dating since October
were surprised that they could get tickets on the day of the movie's premier.
When Holmes opened fire
Blunk pushed Jansen to the ground
under her seat
and threw his body on top of her. Shellie
Jansen's mother
said: "He was 6-feet-2
in incredible shape
which is why he was able to push her down under the seats of the theater. He pushed her down on the floor and laid down on top of her and he died there."
Jansen
recalling the moments of terror
said she heard a woman screaming
"I've been shot!" She recalls the boom of gunfire and the acrid smell of gunpowder. She said: "There was kind of a break in beeen each gunshot. Every gunshot
I was like
‘This is it . . . I'm done for.' Jon gave me one good push against that concrete again and then... I didn't really feel his arms against my back anymore but I knew he was still there."
She realized that Jon had taken a bullet when the shooting stopped and he did not move when she tried to get him up. She said: "I started shaking him and saying
‘Jon
Jon
we have to go... it's time for us to get out of here.'"
According to MSNBC
she said: "I guess I didn't really know he had passed up until I started shaking him."
'He pushed her to the floor and ended up getting a bullet.'

the aunt of survivor Amanda Lindgren
said her niece's 24-year-old boyfriend Teves
threw her to the ground as bullets flew around in the theater. She said: "He pushed her to the floor to save her and he ended up getting a bullet. He was gonna hit the floor himself
but he never made it."
Samanrtha Yowler also said her boyfriend Matt McQuinn
shielded her body from bullets. Yowler survived with a gunshot wound to the knee and she has undergone a surgery.
MSNBC reports witnesses say McQuinn shielded his girlfriend when the shooting started. Samantha's brother
Nick
was also at the theater. He helped to get his sister out and was unharmed.
The McQuinn's family lawyer Robert Scott
said in a statement: "Both the Yowler and McQuinn families thank everyone for their concerns
thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Unfortunately
Matt perished from the injuries he sustained during the tragic events that unfolded... and went home to be with his maker."
McQuinn
27
and Yowler
met at a Target store in Springfield
Ohio
where they both worked. A co-worker said: "He was a great outgoing person. We lost a great person and we still can't picture or realize that he's gone."
