Although he denies it, Daniel Hernandez is being called an American hero. His quick thinking and poise in the midst of Saturday's shooting outside a Tucson Safeway supermarket likely helped save his boss Representative Gabrielle Giffords' life.

In his speech at the University of Arizona Wednesday night, President Obama lauded Hernandez for his heroism but the twenty-year-old intern insists he's no hero and says, "I have to humbly reject the title of hero even though the president did call me that." American Morning's T.J. Holmes talks to Hernandez about his first-hand encounter with the President and to Rep. Giffords' Communications Director C.J. Karamargin about his star intern.

Suzie Hileman was at Representative Giffords' constituent event in Tucson, AZ when bullets started flying. She was hit three times but the bullets missed her internal organs, sparing her life.

Bill Hileman, Suzie's husband, says his wife's physical ailments will be easier to get over than the emotional toll; the Hilemans are neighbors of the Green family and were very close with the youngest victim of the shooting, Christina Green, who lost her life. Suzie was the one who brought the patriotic nine-year-old to Giffords' event and was holding her hand when she was shot. Bill Hileman tells CNN's Alina Cho about his wife's condition and about the words he exchanged with Christina Green's parents after her death.
