As a gunman opened fire inside Building 2 of the Virginia Beach Municipal Center Friday, everyone was scrambling for safety.
But not Ryan Keith Cox. "If it wasn't for him, there would have been several more people that had perished," city employee Christi Dewar told CNN affiliate WAVY. Dewar didn't budge when she first heard the gunshots. The building was under construction, and she thought that was behind the popping sounds. But she began to run alongside her colleagues when she heard people yelling"active shooter," she told WAVY.
