Star Wars fan who gave his life to tackle school shooter is honored by Lucasfilm (6 Photos)
Riley Howell is going to be remembered for a lot of things. For his girlfriend Lauren Westmoreland, he was a loving partner for six years. For his classmates at UNC Charlotte, he was a hero that tackled an active shooter, sacrificing his life to save students around him.
