well i think you are

details are only just emerging of what ppl did etc - there are still folk too injured to talk properly

there was a story in the local manc paper of how some egyptian student who was injured badly made movement on purpose so that the gunman wud turn to face him and shoot him again rather than other people in the room who were injured and alive.

Randy Dymond, a civil engineering professor, said Shaalan was credited with distracting gunman Cho Seung-Hui to save the life of a fellow student.

Dymond, who attended a service for Shaalan Thursday, said the Egyptian was in the first classroom Cho attacked and was badly wounded. Cho returned to the room twice to search for signs of life.

During one of those incidents, a second student who was uninjured, was playing dead. When Shaalan noticed Cho making a move to shoot the student, the Egyptian made a "protective movement to basically decoy the killer into thinking it was him making any kind of sound instead of the survivor," Dymond said.

Dymond declined to give the name of the student who survived, but said the student wanted him to tell the story "so that the family of Waleed understands the sacrifice."

Shaalan's mother broke down when she heard Dymond's account.

yeah does beg to ponder why a group of guys or someoen try not to rush him. fair enough theyre students but uni kids not school kids.
