Horrific news out of Thailand today.

A 14-year-old student carried out a shooting rampage just outside Bangkok. Authorities say the teenager killed his two grandparents at home before heading to Debsirin Nonthaburi School, where he opened fire during morning classes.
Five teachers and staff members were killed and more than 20 people were wounded before the teenager took his own life.

Police say the suspect had been under significant academic stress. Reports also indicate investigators are examining evidence that the attack was planned in advance and that he had researched mass shootings online.

Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. 💔🙏

16-YEAR-OLD LIFEGUARD SAVES CHILD FROM DROWNING — NOW INVITED TO THE WHITE HOUSE

Rookie lifeguard Ryder Williams, 16, raced into dangerous waves at a California beach after a 10-year-old boy was swept out to sea.

When Ryder reached him, the child was unconscious. He held onto him through wave after wave until help arrived and they were brought safely back to shore.

The boy survived without serious physical injuries, although his father says he is still traumatized by what happened.

His father called Ryder’s actions something he could never repay and said he would be forever grateful.
President Trump has now invited the teenage hero to the White House to be recognized for his bravery.

Ryder’s response? “This is my job, and I love what I do.”

And after saving the boy, he helped with two more rescues that same day.
