The young boy who shielded his best friend from a spray of bullets earlier this week said he wouldn't hesitate to take the same action again. "She's kind of like a sister to me, so I would do anything if it's part of my family," Rony Monzon said from his home Friday. Two days earlier, the 13-year-old was sitting on a porch and eating pizza with Deneysi Valdovinos, a girl he's known his whole life, when a gunman walked up and started shooting. He is back at home recovering, his right arm in a sling, and a bandage on top of his left hand. "I don't know where they started shooting from the side and I was like very scared and I ran inside. And then her dad told me that I was bleeding. I checked myself and I was bleeding from my chest, my arm; and I saw the little holes and I was very scared," he said. Despite being scared, he said he didn't feel any pain and tried to remain calm, even trying ease the fears of his own mother, who'd been called to the home. "I just remember that I hold him and he just said, 'Mom, calm down. I'm OK. I'm OK," ... that was his only concern in the moment," recalled the boy's mother, Diana Monzon. Doctors said the teen was hit three times; in the arm, chest and hip. All of the bullets passed completely through his young body. Monzon said Valdovinos visited him in the hospital before his release late Thursday evening. "She was very thankful; very, very thankful because I saved her life," he said. Doctors said they expect the Rony's recovery to take about six weeks. He said his faith has kept him strong, and he and his mother said they hope the shooter learns the error of his ways."I forgive him. I forgive him for what he has done to my son," said Diana Monzon. "I feel sorry for this guy. I don't know what past through his mind, and I hope that he realized that it was a big mistake what he did." "You never prepare for something like this because today it was my son. Tomorrow it'll be someone else," she said. Rony wants to see the shooter brought to justice. "I know they didn't mean it for me; they meant it for the other people," he said. "But I would like to know if they could catch them and then give them their sentence to know what they had done to me, because this isn't fair for me." (Read by Nelly Min.

美国芝加哥一位年轻男孩近日“英雄救美”，用身体挡住了射向好友的数发子弹。他表示如果再遇到类似情况，自己还会挺身而出。 罗尼-蒙松上周五在家中说：“她就像我的妹妹，所以为了家人我愿意做任何事。” 两天前，这个13岁的男孩正和发小好友丹妮斯•瓦尔德文斯坐在门廊吃披萨，这时有个持枪歹徒走进来开始射击。 蒙松现在住在家里，逐渐康复，他的右手臂吊着绷带，左手上部也包扎了起来。 他说：“我不知道他们是从哪边开始射击的，我怕极了，跑了进去。丹妮斯的父亲告诉我我在流血。我看了看自己的伤势，发现胸口和手臂都在流血，我看到了身上小的弹孔，害怕极了。” 尽管受到惊吓，但他说自己没有感到疼痛，还试着保持平静，甚至尝试安慰母亲。人们给他的母亲打电话，把她叫了过来。 蒙松的母亲戴安娜-蒙松回忆说：“我只记得自己抱着他，他说，‘妈妈，别着急，我没事，我没事。这就是他当时唯一担心的事情。” 医生说蒙松身上有三处枪伤，分别在手臂、胸部和臀部。所有的子弹都打穿了他年轻的身体。 蒙松说，上周四晚上出院前，丹妮斯去医院看望了他。 他说：“她非常感激我，非常非常感激，因为我救了她的命。” 医生表示他们估计蒙松需要大约六周时间恢复。 蒙松说，是信念让自己保持强大。他和母亲表示，希望持枪歹徒认识到自己的错误。戴安娜-蒙松说：“我原谅他，原谅他对我儿子犯下的罪行。我为他感到可惜，我不知道他当时在想什么，希望他认识到自己犯下了大错。” 她说：“人们从不会想到自己会遇到这种事情，今天是我儿子，明天就可能是别人。” 蒙松想看到罪犯绳之以法。他说：“我知道他们不是针对我，他们是想枪击别人。但我希望知道能不能抓住罪犯，对他们进行宣判，让他们知道对我犯下了什么罪行，因为这对我来说太不公平了。” 相关阅读 （中国日报网英语点津 Julie 编辑：陈丹妮） |
