listen, before we go, we re running out of time but i just want to know you that do this voluntarily. yeah, this is a volunteer ambulance corps. we don t get paid. as a matter of fact, if we had another ambulance we would have had both of the people. we do it on a volunteer basis. we depend on donations to keep us running. we only had one ambulance because we didn t have insurance for the other ambulance. you know, otherwise, we would have had both cops off the scene there in less than two minutes. so if people want to help you out is there a website? is there a fund? yeah. please go to b as in boy, s as in sam, v as in victor a as in apple c as in charlie dot org and donate to save a life. thank you. we save lives all over the world. and we thank you for it. thank you very much. thank you. thank you very much. and let s show our guys here off screen. he with wanted to make sure everyone got on camera. because we know that you all are heroes. thank you this evening fr
they wasn t conscious. no, they wasn t conscious. so do you talk to them to try to say stay with me? what do you say? i kept asking officer ramos that if he could hear me to just, you know, blink his eyes or try to move or do anything to gesture that he can hear me. and it was nothing at all. no response from either of the officers? no. no. you when you guys race to a scene like this, what s going through your mind? well, when you hear that there s somebody shot, you know it s an emergency situation, that you have to do your proper patient assessment, see if they are breathing, open up their airway, check for a carotid to make sure they re circulating. these officers, neither one of them had any circulation going on. so we had to get them out of the
car and put them on the backboard and start our compressions and our ventilations, and we were able to put the first ramos into the back of our vehicle. that s what i wanted to ask because baron, did you go to the hospital in the back of the ambulance with the officer? i was actually the driver. you were the driver. of the ambulance. who went with him? i did. and my other emt, emt wombo. he couldn t get off work tonight. he was in the back of our ambulance. and he was in the back of our ambulance. but what happened is we didn t have but one ambulance. they arrived on the scene about two or three minutes later and took the other officer. but we were doing these gentlemen over there was doing cpr on the other cop. okay. let me ask you let me let these guys talk. so who was with the officers? you were with the officers. yeah. so tell us what happened as you were taking them.
