Three survivors of the Colorado movie-theater massacre escaped with minor wounds, but were left with broken hearts because their heroic boyfriends died saving them.<\/h1>\n

In final acts of valor, Jon Blunk, Matt McQuinn and Alex Teves used their bodies to shield their girlfriends as accused madman James Holmes turned the Aurora cineplex into a shooting gallery.<\/p>\n

Blunk\u2019s girlfriend, Jansen Young; McQuinn\u2019s girlfriend, Samantha Yowler; and Teves\u2019 gal pal Amanda Lindgren made it out of the bloodbath \u2014 but they would have been killed had it not been for the loves of their lives.<\/p>\n

Samantha Yowler had a similar story of horror and heroism about her boyfriend, Matt McQuinn, whose last living act was to shield her from death. Yowler, 26, survived with a gunshot wound to the knee and is in fair condition after undergoing surgery. McQuinn\u2019s family credited his quick actions for saving Samantha\u2019s life. Witnesses said he dove on top of his girlfriend as the shooting started and that Samantha\u2019s brother, Nick, who was also in the theater, helped get her out of harm\u2019s way.
