Missouri Western football players Jack Long and Shane Simpson are heroes — and not just on the field. The two defensive backs saved a child from a hot car.

They were driving from practice when they saw a woman beating on the window of a vehicle. They stopped to help Teresa Gall, who had accidentally locked her 17-month-old grandson in the car with the keys. She couldn’t break the window. But Simpson managed it with just one swing.

Gall says she offered to pay the players, but they refused.
