A swift response by the Sterling Heights Police Department saved a baby's life last week.
On Jan. 17 at 2:30 p.m., police dispatchers received a frantic call from a mom about her 1-year-old in distress.
911 operator: "What's going on there?"
Mom: "My daughter, I don't know what happened to her. Please hurry."
911 operator: "Is she breathing?"
Mom: "NO!"
Without a second to lose, Sterling Heights police officers rushed to the 4600 block of Fox Hill Drive.
"In instances like this, seconds mean everything," said Lt. Mario Bastianelli, Special Investigations Bureau and Office of the Chief with the Sterling Heights Police Department.
