City of Temple, Texas

Sergeant Casey Sheppard of the Temple, Texas, Police Department received heartfelt recognition on, March 7 for his courageous efforts in saving a man’s life earlier this year.

The emotional celebration took place at the Temple City Council meeting, where Sheppard was commended for his swift response during a cardiac emergency on January 1.

The incident unfolded on New Year’s Day when Sheppard, while on his way home from work, responded to a distress call regarding a cardiac emergency in the 700 block of Olde Oaks Drive.

Sheppard soon found himself at the scene where 79-year-old Ron Scott had ceased breathing.

Kathy Scott, Ron’s wife, recounted the tense moments leading up to Sheppard’s arrival.

“All of a sudden, I heard him make a strange noise and then another one and I got him to lie down, but he was nonresponsive,” Kathy told KCEN-TV.

Kathy had initiated CPR on her husband until Sheppard took over and skillfully administered the life-saving measures.

With his training and experience, Sheppard performed CPR, successfully restoring Ron’s breathing.

The timely intervention played a crucial role in stabilizing Ron for further medical assistance provided by the Little River Academy Fire Department.

“He’s the first individual that I’ve ever done CPR on that I’ve been able to meet afterward. So glad to meet you. Absolutely. But he’s definitely the true success story here because he overcame something that he shouldn’t have from what I hear,” Sheppard said at the City Council meeting.

Ron is currently undergoing rehabilitation three days a week.

“He broke my sternum and five ribs, so he did quite well,” Ron joked.

Despite the challenges, Ron expressed his gratitude toward meeting his hero, and highlighted the importance of CPR training for all individuals.

“It’s so important that everybody knows CPR,” Ron said. “Start now. I don’t care how old or young you are. Learn CPR.

“I just wanted to say thank you not only to him, but all the first responders, policemen, our firefighters,” he added.

Sheppard also expressed his appreciation not only for the recognition but also for the collective efforts of first responders in the community. “It’s nice to see that and know that we come to work every day and make an impact,” he stated.
