SHIRLEY, Long Island (WABC) -- Oh baby!
Police officers in Suffolk County helped deliver a healthy baby boy in Shirley Saturday morning.
Officers responded to a 911 call at 10:13 a.m. of a woman going into labor at her house on Arpage Drive.
When they arrived, the woman, Rebecca Reyes, told Officer Conor Diemer that she felt she was about to give birth.
Diemer laid her down in the living room.
