"My boyfriend handed me this little boy and said he was underneath this father who was shot in the leg," Silva told the Beast.

"They were trying to stop the bleeding so I brought the boy downstairs into the garage."

Silva ran to the basement of the garage with another family to care for the missing child, who was later named as Aiden.

"He kept asking if mom and dad are going to come back soon," Silva said.
