God bless those who serve and protect us.
Amen !
Another dopehead out of control.
Ryan Hummert, 22, was shot as he got out of a fire truck and pronounced dead later at the hospital
I've been in a funk all day over this. My oldest son is a fireman/paramedic.
God bless this young fireman and his family. He was one of the good guys doing what the good guys do. He did not deserve to be murdered.
Glad I didn’t see the footage. My son also is a paramedic/firefighter.
My prayers go out to that poor family.
How tragic. A situation like this took place in Memphis/Shelby County several years ago. A mentally ill man shot and killed his wife, burned his house down and then called 911. When the fire dept and police arrived, he opened fire on them. :( I don’t remember how many were killed but it was horrible.
Isn’t it about time we equip our Fire Fighters with at the very least One gun onboard every truck that goes out ? Like wise I think we should equip every elementary and high School Principal a gun. Same goes for any other entity that has exposure to the public at large.
Why should these creeps be the only ones with guns ?
This incident could have been much, much worse.
I’m still missing the rest of the story here.
Did they GET the GUY that did this???
I never heard an update on Fox yesterday.
