I wasn’t there and I am not a doctor. I have given CPR to a gun shot wound victim (head shot, suicide) and I can tell you it is one of the most harrowing things I’ve ever done. You are delivering compressions, and with each one more gray matter is exiting the head wound. Felt like I was making it worse, but had to continue until the Paramedics arrived.
On top of all of that we worked the same precinct.
These guys should have been assigned to partner with an older, seasoned veteran Officer.
It depends on the wound and where it is if cpr wil be effective or not.
