GRAND BLANC, Mich.—A “stoic” 6-year-old boy who survived the Sept. 28 mass shooting and fire at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was the first person from the tragedy treated at Henry Ford Genesys Hospital, according to the physician who cared for him.
“He didn’t shed one tear,” Dr. Sanford Ross, the attending physician and assistant director of the emergency department, said at an Oct. 1 press conference.
“He walked into the emergency room stoic. Mom was a wreck, which, as a parent, I completely understand, and what I did was I looked at the wound, had an idea of what was going on,” Ross continued. “I comforted them both by telling him and Mom, ‘You’re going to get through this. You’re going to be OK.’ “…
