SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. -- South San Francisco police officer helped save a 2-month-old infant who had stopped breathing on Christmas morning, a lieutenant said today.

Police and firefighters responded to a 911 call reporting that a baby girl had stopped breathing at a home in the 700 block of Circle Court at about 10:40 a.m., South San Francisco police Lt. Mike Remedios said.
