Two police officers in Alexandria, Virginia revived an infant after he was born not breathing.
Officials said they responded to a 911 call after a mother gave birth to a lifeless baby.
“APD Officers Hiltz and Reilly entered an apartment in the 3800 block of Executive Avenue, rushing to locate the baby. They found a newborn not breathing and without a heartbeat. As first responders, their training immediately kicked in, and, without hesitation, Officer Hiltz began performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) while Officer Reilly managed to keep the family calm. After two rounds of CPR, Officer Hiltz located a pulse, and the baby began to “fuss,” as Officer Hiltz described it. The sound of a newborn baby crying could be heard throughout the home,” the Alexandria police department reported.
The mother and infant are reportedly doing well and home safe.
