Rony Monzon who shielded his best friend from a spray of bullets said he wouldn’t hesitate to take the same action again.

The 13-year-old was sitting on a porch and eating pizza with Deneysi Valdovinos, a girl he's known his whole life, when a gunman walked up and started shooting.

"I don't know where he started shooting from the side and I was very scared and I ran inside. And then her dad told me that I was bleeding. I checked myself and I was bleeding from my chest, my arm; and I saw the little holes and I was very scared," he said.

Despite being scared, he said he didn't feel any pain and tried to remain calm, even trying to ease the fears of his own mother, who'd been called to the home.

Doctors said the teen was hit three times; in the arm, chest and hip. All of the bullets passed completely through his young body.

Valdovinos visited him in the hospital before his release late Thursday evening.

"She was very thankful; very, very thankful because I saved her life," he said.

Doctors said they expect the Rony's recovery to take about six weeks.

He said his faith has kept him strong, and he and his mother said they hope the shooter learns the error of his ways."I forgive him. I forgive him for what he has done to my son," said Diana Monzon. "I feel sorry for this guy. I don't know what past through his mind, and I hope that he realized that it was a big mistake what he did. You never prepare for something like this because today it was my son. Tomorrow it'll be someone else,"

Rony wants to see the shooter brought to justice. "I know they didn't mean it for me; they meant it for the other people," he said. "But I would like to know if the police could catch them and then give them their sentence to know what they had done to me, because this isn't fair for me."
