WILKINSBURG, Pa. — Two medics escaped without injury after having a gun accidentally pointed at them during an emergency call in Wilkinsburg.
Channel 4 Action News’ Amber Nicotra reported that an Eastern Area Prehospital Services crew was called to the 1700 block of McNary Boulevard because of reports of a person having a stroke.
When they arrived, the building manager led them to the apartment, but no one responded. Dispatchers gave the crew the go-ahead to enter the apartment, Nicotra reported.
“Sometimes we don’t get acknowledgement so we have to force our way in to make sure they are not in cardiac arrest,” said Stephen Shurgot of Eastern Area Prehospital Services.
