RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - Two Rapid City residents have been
honored for rushing to the aid of two dying Rapid City police
officers after a gunman opened fire on Aug. 2.
     The city honored Sarah Rodolph and Rachel Runnels on Monday for their
courage in the aftermath of the shooting that claimed the lives of
officers J. Ryan McCandless and Nick Armstrong.
     Officer Tim Doyle was injured but has since returned to duty.
     Rodolph performed CPR on Armstrong until medics arrived, as
Runnels and an Indiana couple tried to keep McCandless alive.
     Rapid City Police Chief Steve Allender says when they saw what
was going on, they immediately stopped and rendered aid.
