Country crooner Billy Ray Cyrus played an emotional concert Saturday night in Nevada to honor a middle school teacher who was shot to death by a student last year.
Cyrus praised Michael Landsberry as a "true American hero" and presented a memorial plaque to his widow, The Associated Press reported.
Landsberry, a former Marine, tried to talk down a school shooter at the Reno-area middle school where he taught in October, police have said. The student shot the teacher and wounded two other students before taking his life.
"Michael Landsberry made the ultimate sacrifice to save his students after serving three terms in Afghanistan," Cyrus told the crowd.
