An 8-year-old boy is recovering just days after El Monte Police officers jumped in to save him from chokingIt happened on June 3, just after 8 p.m. Officers responded to a call saying that the boy wasn't breathing. When they got there, they found Ethan Becerra."He was laying down on his back, eyes open, not breaking. You know, it was scary," said Officer Raul Vega.Body camera footage showed Vega picking up the boy and carrying him to his patrol car.
"Vega's patrol car was equipped with a LifeVac, a tool used to help clear out obstructed airways when someone's choking. The rubber mouthpiece, as Vega explained, creates a seal over the mouth, and then the user thrusts the handle up and down to try and dislodge the obstruction.Together with another officer, Vega worked on the tool until paramedics arrived. Video showed Ethan appeared to be breathing just before being taken into an ambulance.
