5-year-old
shot by brother
LAKE PARK, Fla. (AP) - A 6-year-old boy fatally shot his 5-year-old brother
Wednesday as the boys played with a shotgun they found in their grandparents' bedroom,
police said. Cory Andrew Wilson was pronounced dead at his grandparents' home in this West
Palm Beach suburb, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office. His older brother,
whose name was not released, admitted to his father and then to police he accidentally
fired the shotgun, said Paul Miller, a sheriff's spokesman. "The kid or kids found
the gun underneath a bed in the master bedroom, brought the gun in the back bedroom,"
Miller said. The boys and a 4-year-old brother were being cared for by their grandmother,
who was watching TV at the time of the shooting, Miller said. "He didn't intend to
shoot his brother. He's very distraught," Miller said.

BAY COUNTY COMPANY SELECTED
BY HEWLETT-PACKARD
Panama City, Florida--July 16, 1999 - BAY COUNTY COMPANY SELECTED BY
HEWLETT-PACKARD (HP) as their representative for the Panhandle. Applied Emergency
Management, Inc. will represent HP Heartstream (part of HP’s Medical Products Group)
throughout the Panhandle in marketing their Forerunner Automatic External Defibrillators
(AED). The Forerunner is a state-of-the-art biphasic AED that uses a low energy,
impedance-compensating smart analysis, form of shock to treat victims of sudden cardiac
arrest. A study published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology (Dec97)
reported that the Forerunner achieved the highest first shock efficacy (89%) ever reported
in an out-of hospital setting, compared to peer reviewed literature on higher energy
monophasic AEDs (63%).

specializes in comprehensive emergency management planning for residential health care
facilities, churches and businesses. The company also provides emergency health care
related training to health care professionals, organizations and individuals.
Courses offered include CPR, first aid, HIV/AIDS, OSHA bloodborne pathogens, and domestic
violence.
Larry Clark, President says the addition of the AEDs to their line of products
and services will add a new dimension to the business and allow the company to help
companies and organizations be better prepared for medical emergencies. With the
simplicity and low cost of new AEDs and the advocacy of organizations like the American
Heart Association, AEDs will soon be common place in wherever there are large gatherings
of people, or where high risk activities are conducted--malls, golf courses, churches,
businesses, industrial plants, sports stadiums, gymnasiums, etc. 850-871-6962
