Rush Transcript:


OAKLEY: “I was in a sports store and a little kid runs in there and says there is an active shooter at Walmart, but me and the guy didn’t pay him no mind because he’s a little kid and I walked out and I go to Footlocker and all I hear is pop, pop, and all I know is think my gun to think fast and the Footlocker closed the cage and some people lifted it and they got so scared and they wanted to get out.

I seen a whole bunch of kids running out without their parents and I picked up as many as I could and another guy did as well.

I’m sorry, I’m shaking. I can’t think. And I just peeled out and I just hope the kids make it safe, man, because there were a whole bunch of kids without the parents and I was more worried about the kids than myself…

I’m in the military, and it feels different for me because we’re trained to — when you hear gunshots and pull out your weapon and think fast. I really wasn’t worried about myself.

I just picked up the kids and carried them with me and me and the other guy did and we made it through Dillard’s. I really wasn’t worried about myself.

REPORTER: What did you think about — what ran through your mind when you hearded shots?

OAKLEY: I’m in the military. It’s a feeling that you can’t explain, you know what I’m saying? You heart is — all you think is pull out your weapon and think fast.

REPORTER: Where were the kids —

OAKLEY: They were running around crying. Just running around and all I could think about was the kids. I think about it if my child, if I had one, what I would want someone else to do and I picked them up and the other guy did as well.

I couldn’t go back and — I tried my best — me and the other guy tried to get as many out as possible and that’s all that was. I couldn’t really do nothing.

Like Carmine said, Army Specialist Glendon Oakley is a hero.
