 Somali World Cup Referee Denied Entry to United States Award-winning Somali referee, Omar Artan, has been denied entry into the United States despite holding a valid visa, according to a senior official in Somalia’s sports ministry.

AN OHIO MAN IS BEING HAILED AS A HERO AFTER DISREGARDING HIS PERSONAL SAFETY AND RUNNING HEAD FIRST INTO A BLAZING INFERNO IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A COMPLETE STRANGER.(PHOTO).


 An Ohio man is being hailed as a hero after disregarding his personal safety and running head first into a blazing inferno in an attempt to save the life of a complete stranger.


When Logan Fomenko saw a home engulfed in flames and a person trapped inside on the night of October 9th, he didn't think twice. 


Logan rushed headfirst into the already fully engulfed home. His friends and family say he acted on pure instinct and courage, sacrificing his own well-being to save the life of a man he did not know. 


Unfortunately, while inside of the home, Logan was injured by an explosion. He suffered severe burns as a result.


Logan was air lifted to UPMC Mercy hospital, where he remains. 


Logan reportedly faces multiple surgeries in the near future as a result of his heroic actions that day and will be unable to return to work in the foreseeable future. 


A GoFundMe was started to help Logan while he recovers and this is where his community came out to support their hometown hero. Nearly $25,000 has been raised so far.


This is a touching story about one man's bravery in the face of danger and a community acknowledging his sacrifices and showing up to support him.


Great job, Logan and we hope you have a quick recovery.
