Washington Post correspondent Heather Long shared a photo of Smith in the emergency room. It has since gotten over 100,000 retweets and over 250,000 likes.

Daughter of former president Bill Clinton, Chelsea Clinton, shared Long’s post and called Jonathon Smith a hero.

Despite that, Smith doesn’t call himself a hero.

“I don’t see myself that way,” he told The Post. “I would want someone to do the same for me. No one deserves to lose a life coming to a country festival.”

Jonathon Smith calls himself one of the lucky ones even though is likely to spend the rest of his life with the bullet lodged in his neck.

Smith’s sister-in-law Tiffany Jones has set up a Go Fund Me page to pay for his medical expenses. In the fundraiser description, she calls Smith “a loving father of 3 children, Jonathan Jr, Jayden Starr and Julian.”

“Our family is so blessed to have someone so heroic and selfless putting the lives of others before his own,” she said on the page.
