JYY HERO'S OF THE WEEK

TWO 8-YEAR-OLD BOYS PROTECTED A WOMAN FROM A GUNMAN . . . BY BEATING THE GUY WITH BASEBALL BATS:

Now it's time to recognize our "JYY Heroes of the Day". On Sunday, a woman from Gainesville, Florida was leaving her house with her 8-year-old son and his friend when her ex . . . a 29-year-old guy named Charles Bradley . . . snuck up and hit her over the head with a gun. (--The names of the woman and the two boys haven't been released.) It seems Charles was upset with the woman because he wanted to reconcile and get back together . . . but she wanted nothing to do with him.

Anyway, Charles stuck the gun in the woman's mouth and told her he was going to kill her. That's when the boys jumped to action . . . and started beating Charles with baseball bats until he ran off. Charles was arrested and charged with armed burglary, battery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated battery causing bodily harm, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon and obstructing justice. He's being held on $225,000 bail. (Gainesville Sun)

--And that's why you . . . baseball bat wielding 8-year-olds from Gainesville, Florida . . . are our JYY Heroes of the Day. Congratulations . . . and batter up!!!
