WASHINGTON, Pa. (AP) — Police are crediting a Pittsburgh TV news crew with saving the life of an overdose victim by calling 911 and performing CPR on him before emergency responders could arrive.
WPXI-TV (http://bit.ly/1QRyJwK ) says photographer Dave Clark was getting ready for a news segment with reporter Cara Sapida (sah-PY'-dah) on Wednesday in Washington, Pennsylvania, when Clark saw the man slumped over in a vehicle, not breathing.
Clark performed CPR while Sapida called 911.
Clark says he was thinking, "OK, if we can just keep a pulse going till the paramedics get here, we'll be cool."
Police Chief Chris Lupino says officers took over CPR when they arrived, and paramedics revived the man with the overdose antidote Narcan.

Convicted today. But already in "A Bumpy Ride", page 291. Its Inconceivable!
DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit woman pleaded guilty Monday to killing two of her children and storing their bodies in a home freezer, telling a judge that she had no remorse for beating and suffocating them.
Mitchelle Blair, 36, has never challenged allegations that she killed her 13-year-old daughter and 9 year-old son. She pleaded guilty to first-degree murder without any deal with prosecutors — an extraordinary move — and said she would have accepted the death penalty if Michigan had it.
She was arrested in March, after deputies carrying out an eviction at her Detroit apartment found the bodies of her children in a deep freezer. She said she attacked the children months apart in 2012 and 2013.

Readers having fun!
In the past two days, two readers of Inconceivable! have stopped me on the street to tell me how much they enjoyed it. One said, "I've never read a book like this - it is wonderful, happy and sad and complex and simple all at the same time." The other asked where the non-fiction ends and the fiction begins. Writing is 1/3 pleasure 1/3 pain and 1/3 perseverance - the compliments encourage me to persevere.
For the rest of you, download from Amazon, BN or ITunes, or order soft-cover print from me here. The book cover is a link to your preferred vendor and here is the site:
