Ke'Arre Stewart was just 29 years old when he was shot and killed at the shootout which ended at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs. News reports describe the victim as an Iraq War veteran who ran into the building to warn others to take cover after being shot.

Stewart's brother, Leyonte Chandler, spoke to NBC News about the heroic act of his sibling:

"I believe that's his military instinct, you know: Leave no soldier behind, leave no civilian behind, just leave no one behind," an emotional Chandler said. "So he ran back inside, trying to help out others. I don't know where he was at, as far as how many more breaths he had, but he knew. And before his time ran out I guess that was his main priority ... to help and save other lives."

And in the report, Chandler said he forgives the gunman, even though he killed his only brother:

I don't have any resentment or anything — I forgive him. It's a hard pill to swallow because he took my only brother from me. That's the only brother that I had, that I grew up with. He took that away from me and it's hard but I forgive him. Jesus forgave me, so I have to forgive him.

But it's his final statement that is really striking for someone who has such a great handle on a truly bad situation: Chandler blames the attack on the Second Amendment:

My anger is not toward him, toward the gunmen … my anger is toward the laws that allow things like this to happen: the gun laws. When you allow people to carry firearms at their own will it makes a breeding ground for destruction and tragedy.
