Richard DuChaine: Hero Kansas City cop hailed for saving one-month-old baby who was struggling to breathe
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Dramatic bodycam footage showed the moment a brave Kansas City Police Department (KCPD) officer entered a nearby home and saved a one-month-old baby who had stopped breathing, according to the police. The newly released police bodycam footage showed officer Richard DuChaine running into the one-story home in Missouri on November 3, 2022, swiftly taking the baby named Kamiyah from her father and starting chest compressions with his fingers.
In the video, Charles Owen, DuChaine's partner, is heard saying, "I can feel her, turn her around and hit the back.” DuChaine flips the infant over and starts giving her back pats. "C’mon, sweetie," one of the officers can be heard saying. "C’mon. I can hear her,” Owen says, adding, “Try a little harder." “She’s breathing now,” he says moments later, as per reported by the New York Post.
