St. Charles Girl Meets Dispatcher After 911 Call Saves Dad's Life

We first introduced you to a 7-year old who saved her dad's life Tuesday night. On Wednesday, both ends of the call came face-to-face for the first time.

The most important conversation between 7-year-old Abbie Raga and emergency dispatcher Vicki Schramm took place over a 9-1-1 phone call on December 27th. Without it, their face-to-face conversation might have never happened.

Abbie Raga brought flowers for the woman that answered her 911 call that potentially saved her father's life.

Tom Raga, the man who was having difficulty breathing, also wanted to thank Vicki in person for teaming up with his daughter to get him the quickest help possible.

Vicki had a special message that she was excited to deliver to the 7 year old who showed the composure of an adult during a time when some others tend to panic.

St. Charles Girl Called Hero After Calm 911 Call To Save Dad's Life

A St. Charles, Missouri first grader is being hailed a hero after calling 911 when her dad had trouble breathing.

Tom Raga had been working on a rehab project in their St. Charles home when his lungs filled with sawdust.

Abbie Raga, 7, knew her dad needed help. She made a 911 call on December 27th.

St. Charles Dispatch and Alarm Supervisor Vickie Schramm knew that Tom was in pain, but she was impressed with the kindergartner's composure.

The St. Charles Ambulance District will honor Abbie Wednesday night.

They say her 911 call is an educational reminder for parents.

Injured St. Louis Marine Welcomed Home By Vice President

A St. Charles County Marine who was injured in Afghanistan is home, fresh off a meeting with one of the most powerful men in the world. Cpl. Craig McMillen, 22, was welcomed back with a surprise celebration at Lambert Airport.

About 35 family members and friends from McMillen's church, New Life Church of the Nazarene in O'Fallon, Missouri, broke into applause, and some broke into tears when McMillen appeared in Terminal 1. McMillen is a quiet young man; his homecoming was not.

He is in a wheelchair for now. November 21, while on patrol in Afghanistan, he was attacked. 'I was shot and the bullet went through my left leg, into my right leg,' he explained. 'It pretty much shattered all the bones in my left leg as it went through.'

Gang Member Pleads Guilty In Triple Murder

It was a series of crimes that revolved around marijuana, money and the brutal murders of three men. It was all centered around a gang in St. Louis called the Invaders. They are known by local and federal law enforcement as drug dealers who killed anyone who got in their way; even members of their own gang.

Monday in St. Louis County Court one of the gang members, Edward Bouroughf, pleaded guilty to killing three men in 2007. All three victims were dismembered and their body parts dumped in area counties. The remains of Allen Little were found in a sink hole in Perry County. Police say he was a member of the Invaders and killed because gang members no longer trusted him. Two other men were shot and killed in south St. Louis.

Randy Greenman was killed over drug money, but the other man, George Wiiter, 35, was killed for being with his friend at the wrong place at the wrong time. The men's remains were found in Jefferson and St. Charles County.

St. Charles County Tax Grace Period Ends Monday

Residents in St. Charles who haven't paid their real estate and personal property tax bills have until the end of the day Monday to do so without facing a penalty. The deadline was extended from December 31st to January 23rd after a computer problem caused the 2011 tax bills to go out late.

The St. Charles County Council voted to extend the deadline without penalties until the 23rd. Anyone who pays after Monday will have to pay penalties.
