Dozens of Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officers were honored for their service to the community Wednesday, but the biggest award went to UNC Charlotte student Riley Howell.
NBC Charlotte reported Howell was awarded the Citizen Medal of Valor for his heroic actions during last month's deadly shooting. Howell tackled the gunman and saved countless lives in the process. Howell, 21, and 19-year-old Reed Parlier were both killed in the attack. Four others students were injured.
