New England Patriots player Justin Herron and another man helped stop an attempted sexual assault of a woman while he was training in a park in Tempe, Arizona, CBS Boston reported.
The offensive lineman and local resident Murry Rogers were honored by the Tempe Police Department on Wednesday after they both intervened and stopped the attack on a 71-year-old woman in Kiwanis Park on March 20. They were presented with "Outstanding Service" awards by the department. Police said 30-year-old Kevin Caballero allegedly shoved the woman to the ground and tried to sexually assault her in broad daylight before Herron and Rogers stepped in and detained the assailant until officers arrived.Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
