CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A survivor of a campus shooting in North Carolina has gotten to meet Tim Tebow, an athlete he has looked up to since the fourth grade.
News outlets report that the Syracuse Mets minor league outfielder visited with 19-year-old Drew Pescaro before a game Wednesday at BB&T Ballpark in Charlotte. Pescaro was wounded April 30 in a deadly shooting at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte.
The Charlotte Observer reports Pescaro is a sports writer for the UNCC student newspaper.
Tebow and Pescaro had spoken on FaceTime while the student was in the hospital.
