When you think of teenagers, it’s sometimes easy to characterize them as lazy and self-absorbed. But meet 17 year old Daniel Wesley.

He was driving when he saw a woman who’d been shot and left on the street. You won’t believe what happened next.

He got out and ran toward the victim, 30-year-old April Peck, accompanied by other good Samaritans, the teen told WAFB-TV from his hospital bed Wednesday.

“I wish I could have done more because that lady ended up dying,” he said.

They were trying to help Peck, but her attacker jumped from his Chevy Malibu and fired a round, which struck Wesley in the behind, he said.

“He gets out and he yells, ‘If you’re helping her, you are going to die, too,’ and he shot me in the butt and then he ran after everybody else,” the teen recounted.

The man continued firing and hit a paramedic unit. No other people were injured, Wesley said. But the man wasn’t done yet.

“On his way back to the car, he shot me again, in the arm… My feet were hanging off the curb and [when] he pulled away, he hit my legs and broke my femur in half,” Wesley said.

How’s that for trying to do something good? The gunman was named Terrell Walker and was the father of Peck’s two children. I say “was,” because East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s deputies killed him in a shootout two miles away.

After this brave teen was shot (twice) and run over, he laid on the ground and waited for help himself:

“I was thinking ‘I am not going to die like he said… I am not going to die.’’’

He’s not.
