For Walmart manager Robert Evans, baseball is a place where things make sense. A night out to the El Paso Chihuahuas game was intended to be a few hours of peace after the mass shooting that happened at his store last Saturday. ow.ly/pwBC30pkjVH
Evans saw the first bullets fly and the first customers crumple during the shooting. He ran into the store, yelling “active shooter!” Evans was the last store employee to leave the scene Saturday night after being interviewed by investigators. 📸: @EPShoot01
Days later, Evans was standing on the field at the first home game for the El Paso Chihuahuas since the shooting. The team was honoring him for helping to save people from the shooter. 📸: @Carolyn_Cole ow.ly/pwBC30pkjVH
Evans choked up as the National Anthem was played, and during the game, his mind wandered back to the shooting. But in a moment that made him smile, a rainbow appeared beyond the stadium. “I love baseball,” he said quietly after the game. 📸: @EPShoot01 ow.ly/pwBC30pkjVH
