With all of the crap happening in the world and being reported and all of the crazy evil people shooting others, it is a pleasure to report this.

“16-year-old hero jumps into river to save 3 teen girls as their car sinks. He also rescues cop who swam out to help girls but started to struggle.
Corion Evans, 16, is getting major praise after jumping into a river in Mississippi early Sunday morning and rescuing three teenage girls as their car sank — and coming to the aid of a police officer who also jumped in to help but began to struggle.
Authorities said the three girls were in a car on the Interstate 10 boat launch that ended up in the Pascagoula River and began to sink, WLOX-TV reported.
“They drove straight under the water,” Evans told WLOX. “Like, only a little bit of the car was still above the water.”
With that, Evans told the station he tossed off his shoes, shirt, and phone — and jumped into the river.
“I was just like, ‘I can’t let none of these folks die. They need to get out the water.’ So, I just started getting them,” the Pascagoula High student added to WLOX. “I wasn’t even thinking about nothing else.”
Evans added to the station that he was "behind them trying to keep them above water and swim with them at the same time."
He wasn't the only hero of the morning. One of Evans' friends — Karon “KJ” Bradley — jumped in as well and helped get the girls to the top of their vehicle, WLOX reported.”
