The Star is reporting that KCFD was responsible for resuscitation of the child. It was MAST EMTs and paramedics. I get so tired of everyone getting credit EXCEPT the people who deserve it.
The STAR has no overnight reporters OR photos on the weekend.
So they report what they are told by the governmental agencies- in which case truths may vary....

That should have been no overnight PHOTOGRAPHERS instead of "photos."

Good to know captain. I was not aware of that. Since hardly any news happens during weekend nights, I can see why they don't staff this.
NOT.
Retards.
