“He saved my life but lost his life,” said Heather Gulish Melton in a statement to US media.

Heather Melton described the attack as horrific; adding “words cannot describe what happened last night.”

“At this point, I’m in complete disbelief and despair. I don’t know what to say. Sonny was the most kind-hearted, loving man I have ever met. He saved my life and lost his,” she said.

According to his Facebook page, Melton was a registered nurse at Jackson-Madison County General Hospital. Melton graduated from Union University in 2015, the college confirmed in a Facebook post.
