Hero 13-year-old takes a bullet for his little brother in horrific murder-suicide

[The Dragon Master]

A brave 13-year-old boy took a bullet from a crazed gunman to protect his baby brother.



Quentin Jack used his body to shield two-year-old Kristian and is now paralysed from the waist down.



He threw himself in front of the toddler after Mark Glinton had gunned down his pregnant mother and shot his sister and another brother before killing himself.



Glinton, 37, went on the rampage after his girlfriend Evelina Jack, who was six weeks pregnant, accused him of having affairs.



As the fight escalated at their home in North Miami Beach, Glinton, a security guard, drew his gun and started shooting.



According to the children, he first gunned down Jack and then opened fire on them.



The eldest, Ashleigh, 14, was shot three times, but is in a stable condition. Quentin took a bullet in the back when he saved Kristian.



His nine-year-old brother Xavier was hit in the stomach and side.



He pretended to be dead and then despite his wounds ran to neighbours to raise the alarm after Glinton turned the gun on himself. His condition is critical.



Xavier's father Wils Dorleus said: 'Thank God my son, (and) all of them are alive. He keeps asking me about his mom.... I can't... I can't tell him.'



Ashleigh is the only child who knows that her mother is dead after confronting Glinton moments after he gunned her down.



Detective Michael Stein of the Miami Beach Police Department said: '(She) went into the room and saw her mother had been shot and asked the offender, You know what are doing?



'The offender said, It has nothing to do with you. I love you guys it has to do with your mother and then he shot her.'



Glinton was still married while living with Jack and his wife had called her to warn he was violent.



Police said he used to beat up her and the children and they saw him pull a gun on her several times.



Veteran North Miami Beach Police Chief Raphael Hernandez Jr. who has worked in the field for nearly 40 years said: 'It's one of the most horrific incidents that we've seen.'

Very sad and tragic story. I only wish the woman would have listened to the wife who warned her.

Horrible the mother died, but it's miraculous the boy saved his brother. Great story, very proud of him and wish this type of heroism would be carried out around the globe.
