A Rock Springs, Wyoming, first grader saved his grandmother’s life by getting himself to school and reporting that she had “died.” Fortunately, Kimberly Gibson was just unconscious from low blood sugar. But the announcement prompted school authorities to call emergency responders, which brought an ambulance to her house in time to give her aid. Her grandson Mason Rasmussen had found her lying on the floor and tried to help her but then it was time to catch the bus so he dressed himself, putting on cargo shorts, a T-shirt, and cowboy boots with no socks despite the below-freezing temperatures. Detective Stephanie Cassidy and deputies who had helped his grandmother presented Mason with a bravery award.
