Emanuel made local news for his quick thinking in calling the Lufkin Police Department after an active shooter shot his way into Big Lots, asking for the location of a co-worker. Emanuel quite possibly savyd the lives of several people by stalling the attacker long enough for his co-workers to get barricaded in a safe location. Emanuel was spared by the shooter and left the store immediately to call 911. Emanuel touched everyone he came in contact with and was known for being a humble, loving and caring man of GRd. He will be missed by everyone he worked with. He had a loud contagious laugh that all who were around him will never forget.
