Guest guest Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 I on the other hand almost worked one too many with no PD. We were dispatched to a “person down”. Upon our arrival, sure enough we found a woman lying supine in the front yard, it was about midnight and the only lights were the rotating lights from the rig. Upon patient contact we noticed the bullet holes clearly present in her chest. Shortly after the shooter approached up (pointing the weapon at us) saying, “I didn’t shoot the *CENSORED FOR THE CHILDREN ON THE LIST* for you to come and save her sorry ass”. We left, she died…..

Sidenote: from personal experience, once the shooter has done the shooting, they're done with the shooting. Bystanders, paramedics, etc. are safe. What will cause additional shooting is additional stimulus, such as emotional family members, friends, etc. - or the police showing up. Generally, EMS isn't a stimulus because it's not a threat to the shooter - it's an expected response to someone being shot. I'm not preaching running into every scene willy nilly, but in a case where the police are a long way off, you can use your knowledge of the " rest of the scene " to consider making an approach. I've worked many shooting scenes as a medic without police on scene - every one of them was stable, at least UNTIL the police arrived...
