As Houston reels from the tragic loss of Marshall Middle School student Landon Payton, questions circulate about the adequacy of the response to the 14-year-old’s emergency. According to a Houston Chronicle report, HISD has stated the nurse who attended to Landon during the incident had decades of experience and was actively registered. However, Landon’s father, Alexis Payton, expressed concerns regarding the nurse’s ability to properly administer CPR and to potentially use an automated external defibrillator, as captured in the video footage of the event.
