COLUMBUS, Ind. — A Columbus North High School student raised about $6,000 in order to purchase trauma kits for the Columbus Police Department. Kevin Thompson, 17, worked closely with local businesses to make the idea a reality. Each kit contains latex gloves, a CPR shield, pressure tourniquet, and quick clot gauze.
After he graduates, Thompson will be attending Olney Central College on a baseball scholarship and plans to study criminal justice.
