Class D Unit Citation
Description

In the evening hours of December 2, 2020, multiple units were dispatched to the 1400 block of Kirkwood Circle for a person shot. Medic 74, not part of initial dispatch, was flagged down at Evans and Mendell Streets by a female in a vehicle stating that her passenger had been shot. Identifying updated location, Medic 87 immediately assisted. With heightened danger of proximity (unsecure scene) to Kirkwood Circle location, patient’s grave condition, and uncooperative bystander interfering with medical treatment, the units remained professional and coordinated in their life support measures upon turnover to emergency room staff.
