President Trump on Monday presented the nation’s highest award for public safety officers to six cops who confronted the gunman in the Aug. 4 mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, in which nine people were killed.

The president also honored five civilians who helped others when a white supremacist opened fire a day earlier in El Paso, Texas, their actions preventing further carnage in the Walmart shooting that left 22 dead from gunshot wounds.

“On Saturday, August 3rd, at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, the soulless and bigoted monster killed 22 innocent people and wounded 27 others. It was a racist attack motivated by pure evil,” Trump said at the White House.

“The next day in Dayton, Ohio, a vile and wicked murderer stole nine lives and injured 34 others. Our nation is shocked and enraged by these inhuman and sadistic acts of bloodshed.”

In Dayton, officers confronted the shooter within 30 seconds, a swift response credited with preventing more deaths.

Those awarded the Public Safety Officer Medal of Valor were Sgt. William Knight and Officers Brian Rolfes, Jeremy Campbell, Vincent Carter, Ryan Nabel and David Denlinger.

All returned fire on the gunman, but it was unclear which officer or officers fired the bullets that killed Connor Betts, 24, who was wearing a mask and bullet-proof vest and carrying a semi-automatic pistol modified with an extended-capacity drum magazine that could hold up to 100 rounds.

Trump also honored five civilians who helped others as a gunman opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso.

The five — Robert Evans, Gilbert Serna, Marisela Luna, Angelica Silva and Chris Grant — risked their lives to help others.

Grant threw bottles and other merchandise at the gunman, Patrick Crusius, 21, to distract him and prevent him from shooting others.

Crusius had earlier posted a racist, anti-immigrant manifesto online.

Grant was still recovering from a pair of gunshot wounds, and was represented by his mother Minnie Grant.

“Chris Grant was picking out snacks for his kids when he suddenly saw the murderer firing at innocent shoppers a few aisles away from him. Chris grabbed — listen to this — soda bottles and anything else in front of him and began hurling them at the gunman, distracting him from the other shoppers and causing the shooter to turn toward chris and fire at Chris,” Trump said.

“In the darkness moments of danger and despair, God calls the bravest to action. These 11 individuals answered the call. They stared down evil. They put love of neighbor above life itself, and we are blessed by their courage. we are honored by their presence.”

“To every one of the heroes we recognize today, thank you and God bless you all.”

The twin shootings sparked renewed national discussion of gun control, and Democrats and mayors from cities affected by mass shootings, including Dayton, pressured the Senate and White House to act on House bills calling for stricter background checks.

The president has at times said he supported tougher background checks but has also questioned their value and praised the NRA since the latest mass shootings.
