"Wait! I’m 911!" Police officer springs into action and delivers baby in parking lot

KANSAS CITY, MO (WITI) -- It's a story of being in the right place at the right time. Kansas City Police Officer Ryan Taylor was grabbing a drink at a convenience store and ended up delivering a baby in the parking lot!

According to WDAF, It all started when Officer Taylor entered a Snappy Store on Thursday evening to get a drink before his off-duty job started.

“A citizen came in and said, ‘Call 911! There’s a lady delivering out in the parking lot!’ And I took a second and said, ‘Wait! I’m 911!’” Taylor said.

Instincts kicked in and Officer Taylor went to work.

With the father on the phone with 911, the mother began pushing in the passenger seat -- and minutes later, Taylor single-handedly delivered a healthy baby boy.

Taylor, who has no children of his own, say the whole experience was 'emotional' and 'amazing. It was quite a gift that baby gave me.'

Now, Officer Taylor says he's formed a unique bond with baby Jack, one that only grew stronger when he got the chance to visit him in the hospital and take their very first picture together.

Taylor plans to keep in contact with the family and says he is excited to see baby Jack grow up.
