Inside Edition for Monday, February 17, 2025

It was video that shocked people across the country...a police volunteer being swarmed and stung by a swarm of bees. He fell over and over, while trying to swat them away. Since the attack, he's been recovering, but now he's ready to talk about that terrifying day. He sat down exclusively with our Jim Moret. And a man stopped to help a family of ducks cross the road. And just after they'd gotten to the other side, he was hit by a car and declared dead at the scene. However, as Les Trent reports, the married father of two's act of kindness continues to resonate. Plus, this weekend is, of course, Memorial Day - the first since the CDC declared the pandemic is no longer a public health emergency. AAA says it will be the third busiest Memorial Day weekend since they began tracking holiday travel 23 years ago. Ann Mercogliano has some tips on how to make your trip a breeze. And a woman has a serious problem.
