" We heard for the first time Thursday from the woman who helped save a little boy named Aiden McCarthy, who was found trapped under his dad at the Highland Park July 4th Parade.
Aiden's mom and dad, Irina and Kevin McCarthy, were both shot and killed in the massacre at the parade.
CBS 2's Jackie Kostek talked over the phone to the woman who found 2-year-old Aiden, and tried so hard to reunite him with his family.
Lauren Silva said she doesn't feel like a hero, and wishes she could have done more. But she says she's grateful that Aiden is physically OK, and that she was there to play a small role in caring for him in an unthinkable moment.
Silva said she was with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's son Monday morning. They weren't going to the parade - they were heading to breakfast, and were still in the stairwell of the parking garage when the shots rang out.
Just after shooting stopped, Lauren Silva, her boyfriend Tom, and his son Morgan made their way out of the parking garage stairwell and onto the parade route. Tom and Morgan first, Lauren followed.
"Morgan said, 'Dad, there's a boy under there,'" Silva said.
It was Aiden, trapped under his father's body."...
