GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two shots were fired into a Guilford County ambulance Sunday night after the paramedics had secured the patient into the ambulance.
No one was injured and police are investigating the incident which shattered a rear window of the ambulance, reported FOX 8.
“We really don’t know if this was intentional towards EMS, the patient or just a random act,” said Chris Wilson of Guilford County Emergency Services. “We see violence against first responders, fire, police, EMS across the nation and it kind of really hits home. We really don’t know what the circumstances were involving this particular instance, but it certainly makes us aware that this could happen right here in Greensboro.”
The paramedics had responded for a patient complaining of chest pain. The patient transported in a different ambulance to a hospital.
