PHOTO COURTESY OF THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH. Hillsborough Mayor Tom Stevens reads a proclamation naming 6-year-old Zion Paschall a community hero as Zion looks on with his mother.

The Town of Hillsborough and the Hillsborough Police Department recognized 6-year-old Zion Paschall on July 11 as a Community Hero for helping his grandmother during a medical emergency.

Zion called 911 on June 16 to report that his grandmother had fallen. When EMS arrived on the scene, they found the 67-year-old woman dazed and incoherent. She was transported to UNC Hospitals, where staff determined she had suffered a stroke and listed her in critical condition.

Police commended Zion’s quick thinking and bravery in saving his grandmother’s life. Zion received a certificate at a Hillsborough Board of Commissioners’ meeting.
