Anchor Tears Up Reporting on Rescue

KOLN (Lincoln) Anchor Bill Schammert got emotional while reporting on a dispatcher who helped save an infant’s life while guiding the father with instructions on how to do infant CPR.

The dispatcher was hailed as a hero in Schammert’s story and he started to cry as he told the story to viewers.

You see, this story was a bit more personal for Schammert. He was that Dad on the phone talking to the dispatcher and the infant that he was performing CPR on was his son Cameron.

I think we all can excuse the tears.

Please forgive the tears and watch 🙏

Last Tuesday, we were surrounded by heroes who helped save our son's life. My goal now, is to make sure as many parents as possible know the importance of infant & child CPR. pic.twitter.com/EGNcTuGkz5
