SUMMARY: In emergencies, such as sudden cardiac arrest, quick action is crucial for survival. The American Red Cross emphasizes that immediate response can double a person’s chance of survival, especially since 70% of cardiac arrests occur at home. During holiday gatherings, knowledge of CPR can save the life of a loved one. Lisa Williams took the Red Cross CPR training and successfully used her skills to save a coworker, earning her a Certificate of Merit and the Good Samaritan Award. Training covers CPR, first aid, abdominal thrusts for choking, tourniquet use, and AED operation, equipping individuals for any emergency.

SUMMARY: A dangerous man, Adam Rosenthal, has been arrested in Giles County, Tennessee, in connection with the murder of Darren Gambrell, a member of the 12 Tribes religious community. Rosenthal, who had recently joined the group after being homeless, allegedly killed Gambrell and tried to conceal the body under farm equipment. Both men worked at The Yellow Deli in Pulaski. Rosenthal is also suspected in a murder in Georgia six months ago and other violent crimes in Florida. Authorities are relieved he is behind bars, but expect him to face additional charges in Tennessee before other states.

A Middle Tennessee sheriff says a “dangerous man” connected to a murder inside a religious group is off the streets.
