On Apr. 5th around 4:40 am, Juwan woke up to the smell of smoke in his home in Warren, Michigan.

He said he saw flames and called for his mother.

His screams came just in time, and his mom Brittany was able to get all seven of the children in the home outside to safety.

Juwan’s mom says if it wasn’t for her son they likely wouldn’t have survived.

As for Juwan, he told WXYZ-TV his motivation for helping save his family despite the fear. “Because I love everybody,” he said.

Magnitude 4.8 earthquake

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake shook the northeastern United States on Friday morning.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake was detected near Lebanon, New Jersey, at 10:23 a.m. Friday.

The earthquake was felt in New Hampshire down to Maryland.

According to the Richter scale, which is used to measure earthquake magnitude, they considered the event a “light” earthquake. Still, the geological survey posted on X that it was “notable.” They went on further to say earthquakes are “uncommon but not unheard of along the Atlantic Coast”.

It’s not yet clear if anyone was hurt in Friday’s quake.

9-year-old cancer survivor tragically killed

Elyas Amyr Marshall-Rodriguez got off the bus Tuesday afternoon and, as he was walking away from the bus, he dropped his football when he crawled under the bus to get it and the vehicle began moving.

Marshall-Rodriguez was in remission for leukemia when he was killed on Tuesday after being diagnosed at 2-years-old, according to his family who spoke at his vigil.

He loved life

“He was the life of the party,” said Trenae Gayle, Marshall-Rodriguez’ cousin. “He loved football; he loved basketball. He loved all sports.”

The family has set up a GoFundMe.

The Florida Highway Patrol is investigating the incident and the investigation is currently ongoing.
