SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Firefighters and paramedics rushed to the scene once they got the word that two officers had been shot.
This is what they heard from dispatch before heading into the crossfire: “PD has another victim of a gunshot wound. Scene is not secure. Repeating, scene is not secure. Stage in the area at 16:08.”
Firefighters even shielded innocent bystanders from bullets. The firefighters acted courageously, but if you ask any one of them about it, they’ll say they were just doing their job. The firefighters who found themselves in the line of fire on Tuesday did not have to work on Wednesday. They were sent home so they could rest and recover from what they went through.
