Six-year-old Karter Thorpe is a hero. He saw a man lying in a parking lot and knew that something wasn’t right. Karter was in the car with his grandmother, Carolyn Cook, when he saw the man lying on the ground in a Lowe’s parking lot in Virginia. Karter told his grandmother that the man was hurt and he needed help.

Carolyn turned to look and realized he was right! Carolyn then called 911 and rushed to the man’s side – another passerby started CPR. The man was rushed to the hospital. Turns out the man had suffered a massive heart attack.

If it hadn’t been for Karter, the man might not have survived. The man’s family thanked Carolyn and Karter in a Facebook message. Luckily, Karter and Carolyn got there soon after the attack and saved his life!
