I hate the way news articles are written, they repeat the headline three times and then don't explain what happened properly. How many kids did he save? Why is he injured? What were the circumstances?

He saved 2 kids and 2 adults, but was tired and couldn’t make it out of the water himself. He didn’t necessarily get them all to shore, just out of the rip current. Escambia county then got him out of the water with a jet ski, but he ingested a lot of water (he was drowning) and has lung and kidney damage. Better article by our local station, WEARTV 3. They explained it much better on the local news.
