“I went straight to the ground. It didn’t hurt. My body numbed up,” he told Fox News. “I was covered in a pool of blood—it was shooting out. It was literally everywhere.”
After dragging himself to cover behind a row of bleachers, Thomas began to get scared, fearing he may bleed out.
That’s when two young women came to his refuge. One wrapped a belt around his leg, forming a makeshift tourniquet, while the other recruited some men to carry him to safety.
“I want all of you to know there were many brave souls out there trying to protect everyone,” he wrote on Instagram.
Thomas says he’s no better or more heroic than any other civilian at that festival who selflessly risked their own lives to save others. He then encouraged everyone to join together in unity through this tragedy, before extending his sincere appreciation to the Trumps for their visit.
Thomas later posted a photo of him standing beside his bed with the President and First Lady, calling it the “greatest honor” of his life.
He is just one more incredible story of LIGHT shining brightly through the darkness of evil. Wishing him well through his recovery.
