Alaska State Troopers and Mat-Su EMS responded to an unconscious man at a residence on Amanita Street. The callers reported that CPR was in progress on 53-year-old Richard Shields. After administering CPR, the family of the man attempted to transport Shields to the hospital according to the report.
