Music Star Honors Fallen Teacher

Country music performer Billy Ray Cyrus honored the math teacher who was killed last fall during the shooting at a Sparks middle school.

Cyrus recognized Michael Landsberry during a concert this weekend in Incline Village. He presented a plaque and check to Landsberry's widow. The 45-year-old ex-Marine was killed October 21st when he tried to talk to shooter Jose Reyes. Reyes turned and shot Landsberry then shot and injured two other students before taking his own life.

Cyrus and his father, Ronald, made similar presentations to honor unsung American heroes for more than a decade, and this will mark the first time he has done so since his father's 2006 death.
