Rodney Sumter, who was shot three times while bartending during the attack at Pulse nightclub in Orlando, received a visit from an unexpected visitor in the hospital: Tim Tebow, his teammate at Nease High School.
Sumter posted a photo to Instagram from the hospital, explaining how Tebow left the Bahamas to see him:
As First Coast News reported, Sumter is in stable condition after undergoing surgery. First Coast News also detailed how Sumter survived the shooting, which took the lives of 49 people:
Valencia College nursing student Joshua McGill, 26, helped get him to the ER.
McGill and his friends were on the back porch of Pulse when they saw people running and heard, "It's a gun, there's a shooter!" The group jumped the fence to escape and McGill hid under a car.
It was then that he noticed Rodney who was covered in blood. McGill said Sumter was bleeding from both arms and he bear-hugged him in order to help stop the bleeding as he helped to get him to the hospital.
Based on Sumter's other Instagram posts, he appears to be in good spirits.
