On A Positive Note: Connecticut Teen Takes Steps to Protect Community By Installing AEDs
Andrew Fuller, 16, is taking steps to protect his community with some first aid tools. He said after realizing there was a need for more automated external defibrillator, or AEDs, around town, he took it upon himself to start the installation process. "I was getting notifications on my phone about stories of people who were going into cardiac arrest in public places and there not being an AED around," he said. "And I'm like, wait, we don't have them at parks, we don't have them at our beaches. Let's just change that."
The mother of a 6-year-old who shot his teacher in Virginia pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of felony child neglect, seven months after her son used her handgun to critically wound the educator in a classroom full of students.
Ahead of National Roller Coaster Day on Wednesday, Alessandro Zamperla, president and CEO of Central Amusement International, spoke with Cheddar News about the park's history and recent expansion.
