Officer Moriarty and another staff member grabbed the school’s defibrillator and ran out to the field.
School staff applied CPR and Officer Moriarty and staff deployed the defibrillator until Bellevue Fire Department medics arrived and took over.
The teacher was recovering at Overlake Hospital on Wednesday.
“I think it was awesome (helping save a life),” said Officer Moriarty. “And it was a good team effort.”
