| Detroit EMS personnel savagely attacked; perp on loose |
| 2015-10-21 |
| [CBS-Detroit] DETROIT (WWJ) -- Officials say two paramedics are in serious condition after they were attacked and stabbed repeatedly while trying to help a woman on Detroit's west side, and the suspect remains on the loose. The incident happened just after 12 a.m. Tuesday. Both paramedics were stabbed and slashed repeatedly before making it back to their vehicle. The two then drove to Detroit Receiving Hospital where both remain in serious condition. Detroit Fire Commissioner Eric Jones said "Both of the EMTs are going to require some extensive surgeries. The injuries -- they came to within inches of dying." The suspect took off running after the attack and is currently being sought by police. His description was not immediately released. Insert snarky comment on the unpublished description here Jones said he plans to meet with Police Chief James Craig later Tuesday to discuss "de-escalation training" and defensive tactic training. My suggestions for training include body armor and concealed weapons for all Detroit EMTs. I once spent a night riding with city EMTs elsewhere decades ago & noticed one of them wore armor & had a pistol in an ankle holster. Certainly was against protocol at the time, but I felt safer for that. |

| #3 Another ER doc I once knew, used to be a primary care doc in the Detroit area. He wound up getting shot during office hours, which motivated him to move out of Detroit. (This happened over 30 years ago) For the rest of his life, he carried a concealed handgun & worked ER in small towns. |
