"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."

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。
