Two EMTs and a fire captain were shot.
At least two people are dead and several others are wounded after a driver of an SUV allegedly shot at several people Sunday in Tucson, Arizona, including multiple first responders. The shootings unfolded at three locations where emergency personnel were responding to separate incidents. Tucson Police Chief Chris Magnus said the incident began as the Tucson Fire Department was dispatched to a fire at 3:45 p.m. local time in the 2100 block of Irene Vista. At "pretty much" the same time, EMTs were responding to an unrelated medical emergency in a nearby park. That's when, according to Magnus, a suspect got out of his silver SUV, approached the ambulance and opened fire, striking the driver in the head and the passenger in the arm and chest. The 20-year-old EMT driver is in "extremely critical condition," while the EMT in the passenger seat, a 21-year-old woman, is listed in stable condition.More Related News
