(cantonrep.com) — North Canton officials have honored police, firefighters, paramedics, and dispatchers for a harrowing October rescue of a young mother shot in her Versailles Gardens apartment while an unseen gunman fired through the walls. Medals, life-saving awards, and proclamations recognized their actions, which also triggered school and Walsh University lockdowns and led to a SWAT response and an ongoing criminal case.
