Saera Wilson told reporters that her fiancé said “tell our children that their daddy loves them” before he dove in front of her during Friday’s shooting.
Saera Wilson posted this photo on Facebook Sunday of her fiancé, Matthew James, giving a thumbs-up from his hospital bed.
When Tunisian student Seifeddine Rezgui began firing on a beach in Sousse Friday, killing 38, James was reportedly the first to be shot.
