White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has singled out a Philadelphia financial planner as a hero during Sunday night's mass shooting in Las Vegas.
Sanders told reporters Monday Mike McGarry lay atop younger people at the country music concert targeted by a gunman in a nearby hotel.
McGarry told KYW-TV that he did it because, "I'm 53, they're in their 20s. I lived a decent life so far, I'd rather them live longer than me."
McGarry didn't realize he'd been praised nationally because he was on a flight home when Sanders addressed the media. He says his wife, a registered nurse, was more of a hero than him -- putting a tourniquet on one of those wounded.
McGarry says, "We're just trying to help other people. I don't think I did anything spectacular."
