Good point.

Brother and sister having an illegal love bond with an inbred child on the way.

 

Maybe they got rejected from Jerry Springer?

And that's how well protection orders work.

[minx]

Funny, I dint see him...

Not that they work, but they didn't serve it to him in the first place - they couldn't find him.

taking bets on who'll be the first to complain about liberals and gun control laws.

 

My bet is on the firefighters.

[lizard_brain]

This hits close to home because I work just a few blocks away from where this happened. Make the helicopters go away!

 

 

[archenemy]

Just shoot them down, silly!

Firefighters found the victims while responding to reports of gunfire

Since when do firefighters respond to gun fire? WTF?

 

The medic system in Seattle is based out of the fire department; all 911 calls generate a response from the FD.

[snugtop]

My bad.

Friggen educated peoples.

 

That's right. I am not in Information Technology. I am in Computer Science. Now where's the IT guy to tell me why my computer crashes when I open Windows Media Player?

 

He's sitting on the golf course emailing his computer scientists in India making $3.50/hour.

I assume the media left out a step here? Like I'd expect some cops to show up and take care of scene safety before the FD went in?

[archenemy]

Isn't part of the FD responsibility to make sure a scene is safe? No sarcasm here--I honestly don't know where the lines are drawn.

[Gary_Yngve]

Yeah, they make sure that they themselves don't get hurt, and that bystanders don't get hurt. But if there's a closed room where gunshots came from, I don't think they go inside until they're sure a gun is not going to be used on them too.

[archenemy]

How can you be sure until you go in?

[archenemy]

I feel like we are having the Schrodinger's Cat discussion again...

[Dechristo]

Scene safety is numero uno priority for FD/Paramedics. They call the cops as soon as they feel the need, which may be before they exit their vehicle.

[iluka]

I misspoke in my earlier post a bit. I meant to say that 911 calls involving injuries/illness issues generate a fire department response because the medic system is based out of the FD. Other 911 calls do not generate an FD response.

 

As a rule, the medics do not go into an area until the scene is secure. If there is concern about the possibility a shooter on scene, they will remain in their rig until the police have arrived and secure the area. The medics and firemen are not armed. They may call for that assistance but usually the dispatcher will have already sent a police response based on the information provided in the initial 911 call.
