Two North Middleton Police Officer's quick actions helped save a life on Monday.
Corporal's Carver and Peterson were called to the National Guard Fitness Center in Carlisle for a 40-year-old woman having a seizure. While the Officers were on their way to the center, they were told the woman was now in cardiac arrest.
When they arrived, the woman's husband met them at the door and told them she wasn't breathing. As officers tried to get back in, the woman's husband realized he left his card inside. Carver and Peterson broke a glass window to get back into the gym.
The officers found the victim unconcious and could not find a pulse. They used an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) to help treat the woman. Carver and Peterson used CPR until EMS arrived.
The woman was taken to Carlisle Regional Medical Center, and the two officers' quick actions are being credited. Chief Reitz of the North Middleton Township Police Department said the actions played a critical role in the woman's survival.
