Face of three news stories heroic, fed up and tragically sad

Left, Braeden Murray, the young supermarket worker in Georgetown is brushing off the accolades for his key role in the rescue of Carole Berry, 73, after she fell getting out of her car and lay in a parking lot for three days before being found. “It’s what anyone would have done,” says Murray which may be true but it was Braeden who did it. Centre, Al Hoffman is a conservative Republican in Florida who is fed up with his party’s failure to enact gun control in the US. He’s told CNN that he won’t be contributing any more money to the party until it does something about automatic rifles. On the right, the heartbreaking death of Emma Splan, 6, in Norwalk, Connecticut, appears to have been caused by complications from the flu. Emma had had a flu shot. As many as 80 kids have died from flu-related causes in the US this season.
