It's the first of its kind in the state.  A pet ambulance, designed to respond to emergencies for man's best friend, is now in operation in Southwest Florida.

GAINESVILLE — Senior pastor Arao Amazonas said he wanted to wait until the next morning to leave Florida after a religious conference. But pastor Jose Carmo Jr. wanted to be back in time for the suburban Atlanta church's Sunday morning service and led two vans up Interstate 75 toward Georgia.

Two people were shot and wounded about midnight Saturday at the South Florida Fair, leading to a lockdown at the fairgrounds that kept thousands of people from leaving for up to an hour, according to thePalm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
