A Harford County boy was honored earlier this month for attempting to save his grandfather's life.
Jack Marshall Dempsey, a 10-year-old Bel Air Elementary student, was presented a Gold 911 award by the Harford County department of emergency services, the county announced in a release.

Family friend Nicole Cecchini nominated Jack for the award, according to the release.
