Temperatures plunged into the single digits and teens across the Kansas City MetroRegion overnight.

Winds were light from the northwest and north so wind chills were not a serious factor.

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."

NOT.
