Cook, who had only recently come home from a year-long tour of duty in Afghanistan, was in his car on his way to visit his grandmother on Feb. 2 when a gunman opened fire on him and little Antoine. As bullets suddenly rained down on the car, Cook threw himself on top of the boy.

"When I got to his grandma's house they had rushed Antoine to the hospital already. He was in the emergency room," recalled Cook's fiancée Laquana Norwood in a phone interview with ABC News. "I didn't know where Will was. I saw his car outside. The police had everything taped off. After that I just rushed straight to the hospital and that's when I found out that Antoine had been shot in the left leg and a bullet had grazed his right leg and the right side of his head. They had found Will on top of Antoine."
