A firefighter paramedic in Missouri was killed in the line of duty on Sunday after he was allegedly stabbed in the back of an ambulance while transporting a patient to the hospital.
Kansas City Fire Department Fire Medic Graham Hoffman, 29, died on Sunday a few hours after he was stabbed in the chest by a patient being taken to the hospital following a routine medical call from police, the city of Kansas City said in a news release.
Hoffman’s partner “initiated a crew emergency” after the stabbing and additional fire and police units responded to the scene, the city said.
He was taken to North Kansas City Hospital, where he died in the Intensive Care Unit despite “heroic efforts” from KCFD paramedics while taking him to the hospital and staff in the Emergency Room and surgery.
“His KCFD ambulance was an essential lifesaving tool,” the Missouri Division of Fire Safety posted on Facebook. “But early this morning, Hoffman’s ambulance became a crime scene and Hoffman a victim of an unfathomable crime – allegedly stabbed to death by a patient he was treating.”
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said Hoffman displayed the city’s “finest quality” through his “selfless service for others.”

Stay away from “them”. It is the best thing you can do to live longer.
nothing good can come from it
I remember reading a historical essay by some person of note, either a doctor or psychologist maybe, however it couldn’t be printed today. They stated that the order of intelligence from most to least was Asian, European, Hispanic, African. That each race brought something unique to the table.
Yeah I hear you. In a way it feels like I’ve checked out. I don’t recognize the world anymore. Used to have a lot of angst but anymore Im like you and just count my blessings and leave it in God’s hands.
