US firefighters shot dead at blaze

This is not what the US needs at this time or any other time for that matter....utterly senseless :nope:

US firefighters shot dead at blaze in Webster, New York

Quote:

Two volunteer firefighters have been shot dead and two injured while responding to an emergency call in the town of Webster in New York state.
It appears the four were fired upon as they arrived at the scene of a fire early on Monday morning.
The blaze broke out just before 06:00 local time (11:00 GMT) and the shooting reportedly prevented firefighters putting it out for several hours.
A gunman has been found dead at the scene, local police say.

Poetic justice if he burned to death, or at least died from smoke inhalation.

I'm a member of a forum with a lot of First responders/LEO's and apparently it was a domestic gone bad.

Car was set on fire, neighbor called 911 and when the firefighters showed up he opened fire on them.

SWAT made entry into the house and found him.

Christmas brings out the best and sometimes presents us with the worst.

Webster, NY?

Crikey, I used to live there in the late 60's. It was the sleepiest of sleepy towns. The most excitement there was a dog barking and even he was whispering.

I guess a lot has changed since then. :nope:

When I located to DC, I was considering continuing my service as an EMT. I was told that it was customary for EMT's to provide their own bullet proof vest.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

Unfortunately, shooting at EMTs is a popular past time in the Capitol. NOt surprising as DC is the toilet of the US.

Very sad to hear that this has spread to other more decent parts of the country.

What kind of (explicative deleted) would shoot a Fire Fighter while working?

The worst kind mate :nope: To add don't think you're alone over there, same hienous behaviour happens here, Thankfully guns haven't been used thusfar, mainly bricks and other missiles. Unforgivable nonetheless.

Best regards.
