Amish Shooting

I'm sure the majority of you are aware of the recent Amish school shooting, in which a non-Amish dairy truck driver executed a group of school girls.

I just read a very inspiring Reuters Article with some more details on the shooting.

Quote:
...
Rita Rhoads, a nurse-midwife who delivered 13-year-old Marian Fisher as well as another victim, said Fisher appealed to Charles Carl Roberts to shoot her first because she thought it might allow younger girls to survive.
...
Fisher's 11-year-old sister, Barbie, appealed to Roberts to shoot her next, Rhoads said. Barbie survived and was in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia recovering from shoulder, hand and leg injuries."Barbie has been talking and she said Marian said, 'Shoot me first,'" Rhoads said. "Apparently what she was trying to do was to save the younger girls."

...
A thirteen and eleven year old girl offered their life to save others!

Whatever the Amish are doing to raise their children, the rest of the world needs to take note of.
