We can all learn so much from these people.....I am simply amazed at the stories coming out of this tragedy...... Stories of heroics emerge as 4 victims buried thestar.com But as the Amish were burying their dead, there was also talk of heroics. Marian Fisher, 13, is said to have stepped forward and asked her killer to "shoot me first," in an apparent effort to buy time for her schoolmates. Rita Rhoads, a Mennonite midwife who delivered two of the victims, told ABC News she learned of the girl's plea from her family. What's more, her younger sister, Barbie, who survived the shooting, allegedly asked the gunman, Charles Carl Roberts IV, to "shoot me second," Rhoads said. "They were amazing," Rhoads said. "There was a tremendous amount of calm and courage in that schoolroom." <snip> At the behest of Amish leaders, a fund has also been set up for the killer's widow and three children.
