TUNISIAN MASSACRE: Dad Takes the Bullets To Save Fiancee and Baby Mama’s Life

A hero British man, Matthew James, 30, took the bullets in place of the mother of his kids and fiancee, Sarah Wilson, 26. He was shot repeatedly as he shielded her from an evil IS gunman on a Tunisian beach.

Survivor, Sarah, told how her brave fiancé saved her from the terror which killed 37.

He told Sarah, “I love you babe. But just go.”

As at least one gunman opened fire with a Kalashnikov, she and Matthew were lying on sunbeds like hundreds of others. Seconds later, as up to 13 fellow Brits lay dying, she said he was hit by a bullet and blood started pouring out from him.

She said: “I was screaming and it was chaos as more shots were coming out. He just told me to run away. He said: ‘I love you babe. But just go – tell our children that their daddy loves them.’”

She managed to escape after Matthew shielded her, taking a bullet in the hip, one in the chest and one in the pelvis.

Sarah fled back to the hotel, hid from the full horror of the terrorist massacre, and later hunted for Matthew for two hours, even looking under sheets in makeshift hotel morgues.

As she feared for the worst, someone passed a phone to her and said: “I have a very grumpy man on the phone who won’t do anything until he has spoken to you.”

Sarah added: “It was Matthew and that was the first time I knew he was alive…Matthew put himself in front of me then he was hit, he moved and the man shot him again. Again he tried to move and he was shot again. We were down on the floor next to the sunbeds to shelter but the shots just kept on coming. I owe him my life. It was the bravest thing I’ve ever known. But I just had to leave him under the sunbed because the shooting just kept on coming.”

The engaged couple from Pontypridd, South Wales, had left their two children Tegan, six, and Kaden, 14 months at home with their family when they jetted out to Sousse on June 21 for a two-week break.

Describing the carnage, Sarah added: “I ran back, past bodies on the beach to reach our hotel. It was chaos – there was a body in the hotel pool and it was just full of blood. You just can’t explain how terrible it was. It was chaos with screaming and gunshots. After getting back to the hotel, I hid in a towel cupboard to make sure I was safe. It was dark and I could hear people walking around – it was terrifying. But eventually it became quieter and I came out. I was desperate to find out what had happened to Matthew but no-one was around to help. It was so badly organised with no-one to help and hardly anyone speaking English. I didn’t know if he was dead or alive. I was even looking under white sheets to see if it was his body. I’ve been to the hospital intensive care and I’m just staying here on a chair now. His pelvis was shattered by the bullet and he also had a heart attack. But he is alive. I’m just praying we can get out of here as soon as we can. We are due to get married in the summer of 2017. We will be the luckiest people alive because we have witnessed what nobody should ever see.”
