Keanon Lowe ha evitato una potenziale tragedia l'anno scorso quando ha disarmato — e poi abbracciato — un giovane studente che ha portato una pistola a scuola.
Adesso, La Disney sta realizzando un film ispirato alla sua storia di vita, according to a brief announcement made Thursday.
Lowe was working at Parkrose High School in Portland as head football coach and security guard in May 2019 when an 18-year-old student entered a classroom with a shotgun. Lowe quickly confronted the student and by the time officers arrived at the scene, Lowe had detained the gunman in the hallway. Thanks to his quick action, no shots were fired that day.
Dopo security footage was released mesi dopo, Lowe received national praise for delicately and successfully disarming the student and then bringing him in for a long hug in a powerful display of compassion.
“When confronted with the test the universe presented me with, I didn’t see any other choice but to act. Grazie Dio, I passed,” Lowe said after the incident last year.
Parkrose High School football coach Keanon Lowe is credited with preventing a shooting.
Lowe has since received the recognition he deserved.
He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor Citizen Honor, was selected as a CNN Hero and was named one of TIME Magazine’s Heroes of the Year. E adesso, a Disney movie.
Lowe has since left the Oregon high school and was recently hired by UCLA football coaching staff as an offensive analyst, according to Lowe’s verified Twitter account.
