Antonio Burns, a Winston-Salem photographer and videographer, was getting out of the water on April 18 at Kure Beach near Wilmington when a nearby friend told him that he saw two girls struggling offshore.
âStop playing,â Burns said to his friend, but then he looked and also realized that the girls were in distress.
âI felt that they didnât know how to swim,â Burns said. âEverything happened so fast.â
Burns, 27, then joined four other beach-goers who entered the water to try to reach the girls who appeared to be about 30 yards offshore. Burns, a graduate of the Quality Education Academy in Winston-Salem, described himself as an average swimmer.
