A teenage lifeguard's instincts kicked in at exactly the right moment earlier this month, turning what could have been a devastating tragedy into a story of heroism at our Jersey Shore.Ryan Gibson, a 19-year-old member of the Cape May Point Beach Patrol, had just wrapped up his shift on August 12 and was enjoying an evening volleyball game with friends on the beach. At 6:33 p.m., he spotted an 11-year-old girl being swept into the ocean by dangerous currents. SouthJerseyNewsBeat.com reports Gibson managed to pull the child onto a nearby rock jetty, sustaining minor scrapes and scratches in the process.
