Man Uses Body To Shield Fiancee During Armed Attack In Tunisia by ThePrinceDV(m): 11:41pm On Jun 27, 2015
A man, Matthew James , was a victim of the armed attack that
left 27 dead in a beach in Tunisia.
James was lying on a sunbed with fiancee Sarah Wilson , when
a guman opened fire on them.



James shielded Wilson, taking 3 bullets for her and telling her to
run.
“He took a bullet for me. I owe him my life because he threw
himself in front of me when the shooting started.
“He was covered in blood from the shots but he just told me to
run away.


“He told me, “I love you, babe. But just go – tell our children that
their daddy loves them.
“It was the bravest thing I’ve ever known.
“I had to leave him under the sunbed because the shooting just
kept on coming.
“I ran back, past bodies on the beach, to reach our hotel. It was
chaos – there was a body in the hotel pool and it was full of
blood.


“You just can’t explain how terrible it was. It was chaos with
screaming and gunshots.
“I’m just so glad Matthew is alive, because so many other
people are dead.”


“We were just on the sunbeds, messing around and having a
nice time, when we heard these sounds.
“The shooting had started and there was a man with a gun
opening fire all around.
“It is hard to remember just exactly what was going on.
“I only saw the one man in dark clothing but people were being
shot.


“Matthew put himself in front of me, then he was hit.
“He moved and the man shot him again. Again he tried to move
and he was shot again.
“He was shouting and blood was pouring out all over.
“I was screaming and it was chaos as more shots were coming
out. We were down on the floor next to the sunbeds to shelter
but the shots just kept on coming.
“He just told me to go, to look after our kids and that he loved
me.


“I had to go and made it back to the hotel.
“I hid in a towel cupboard to make sure I was safe. It was dark
and I could hear people walking around – it was terrifying.
“Eventually it became quieter and I came out.
“I was desperate to find out what had happened to Matthew but
no one was around to help. It was so badly organised with no
one to help and hardly anyone speaking English.”
Sarah added: “I didn’t know if he was dead or alive. I was even
looking under white sheets to see if it was his body.
“I kept on speaking to people and after about two hours
somebody handed me a phone and said, ‘I have a very grumpy
man on the phone who won’t do anything until he has spoken to
you.’


“It was Matthew and that was the first time I knew he was alive.
“He just told me he loved me and that he had had an operation
to save his life. I’ve been to the hospital intensive care and I’m
just staying here now.
“His pelvis was shattered by the bullet and he also had a heart
attack. But he is alive.
“I’m just praying we can get out of here as soon as we can.”
