WEST FARGO, N.D. (KFGO) – Two West Fargo police officers became midwives Wednesday night.
Responding to a medical call at a home around 8:30 p.m., Officers Austin Bagley and Jacob Danielson came to the aid of an expectant mother and took charge, delivering a baby girl.
The officers could hear an ambulance siren and were hoping paramedics would arrive in time but the baby didn’t wait.
Sgt. Jason Dura says it’s a rare event for the police department, happening only 3 times that he recalls.
The officers were pretty excited and had quite a story when they returned to the station.
The mother and baby were taken to Sanford Hospital. Both are doing fine.
