A former A’s minor league prospect is being called a hero for using his body to shield two people from bullets during the massacre in Las Vegas.
Bubba Derby, who was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers in the deal that brought slugger Khris Davis to Oakland, didn’t hesitate once he realized bullets were flying at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on Sunday night. The 23-year-old minor league pitcher instinctively threw his body over two female friends to protect them.
“I ended up kind of covering two girls that (his group) had met,” Derby told TMZ.
