A woman – stunned and speechless in the chaos of a July 4 parade massacre – walked up to Greg Ring and handed him a 2-year-old boy, covered in blood.
“We kind of met eyes and didn’t say anything … I put my arms out, and she gave him to me,” Ring said Thursday, when describing the exchange with the unidentified woman, who then laid down in front of their car in shock.Ring’s wish to help the boy carried him back to the scene. He tucked the boy’s face in his chest, so he couldn’t see the carnage. But Ring quickly realized it was too dangerous.He and his family got to their car and took the boy to a Highland Park fire station. “I have a boy.
On Thursday, Ring was still trying to process what happened at the July 4 parade. He said he’s not a hero and just did what anyone would have done in the situation. “What could’ve happened – it is nothing short of a miracle that the five of us – me, my wife and my three kids – one of us or all of us isn’t dead. I do not understand. Everybody around us was hit or got shot.”
