"It's obviously not something you see every day, but as a department it's something we do train on," said Richards, who told reporters he has a 7-month-old infant at home. "We do train in CPR training every couple of years to keep our training up.... When the stress and everything else... you do go back to your training. And that's exactly what we did."
