Teen performs CPR to save baby at Missouri store
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A suburban St. Louis high school student is being credited with saving a baby's life.
KSDK-TV reports that Hillsboro High School student Abby Snodgrass knew what to do when an 11-month-old child stopped breathing last Wednesday at a Walmart store in High Ridge.
Snodgrass was in a dressing room when she heard an emergency call. She ran out to find a crowd surrounding the infant and panicked mother, but no one was doing anything to save the child. Snodgrass had learned CPR in school a couple of months earlier. She performed chest compressions and the child began breathing again.
