Football recruit died a hero saving cousin during Mississippi shooting spree
Posted May 30, 2017
Jordan Blackwell died a hero, shielding his 15-year-old cousin from the bullets when a man barged into their Brookhaven (Miss.) home in the middle of the night in a hail of gunfire. The home was the second stop in a three-home shooting rampage that began late Saturday night and ended early Sunday morning with the arrest of suspect Willie Corey Godbolt. Eight people, including a deputy, died.
