Former Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong, Jr. rescued a family from a burning home.
The fire happened Monday night in Gulfport, Mississippi, where his mother lives.
News reports say the neighbor’s house caught on fire, and Tommy and his mom pulled people out of the house to safety.
There’s no word on what caused the fire.
“Hug your family extra tight and always tell them how much you appreciate them. Life is too precious,” Armstrong tweeted on Tuesday morning.
Tommy Armstrong, Jr. played for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 2013-2016.
Gov. Kristi Noem showed off a controversial Christmas gift on social media.
Noem received a flamethrower with an engraved plate of the state's motto, "Under God, the people rule," according to her communication's director.
A video posted Sunday to Twitter shows the second-term governor lighting up a pile of cardboard.
Fury said no taxpayer dollars were used in the purchase.
The gift comes two years after Noem went viral for a Twitter post of her holding a flamethrower with the caption, "Is it too late to add something to my Christmas list?"
Some people on social media critiqued the gift, saying at the same time Noem was disposing of her trash, thousands of Native Americans living on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations were trapped due to harsh winter conditions without heat.
Heavy snow over the last two weeks is now affecting water access across the Pine Ridge Reservation. Water restrictions are in place through December 30.
Gov. Kristi Noem has commuted seven prisoners' sentences to parole. Noem's office announced the move over the weekend, saying the convicts will be subject to a number of requirements, including electronic monitoring of their locations and alcohol use and supervision plans. Any violations will result in a return to prison. Noem said that the prisoners have earned a second chance and present a low risk of recidivism. The prisoners are Danielle Blakney; Jamie Christine Bosone; Jerome R. Ferguson; Britni Jean Goodhart; Connie Hirsch; Tammy Kvasnicka; and Whitney Renae Turney.
Hirsch, Kvasnicka and Turney killed other people. Blakney, Bosone, Ferguson and Goodhart committed illegal-drug crimes.
