Paramedics disarm man they say went from passed out to pulling a gun
Kimberly Kuizon reports
BRADENTON, Fla. - It started out as a medical call. A man passed out in his car in the middle of 53rd Avenue West in Bradenton.
Manatee County paramedics Carlos Santos and Joe Savasta never expected what happened next.
As Santos checked the patient s vitals, the man pulled a gun from his center console. Manatee County Sheriff s Office body cameras captured what happened. It shocks you for a second and my second thought was, ‘Get that gun or we are all dead,’ said Santos.

As the vaccine has become more and more available, Manatee County Public Safety director Jake Saur says the demand to have a big county-run site is no longer there. As the younger ages have been eligible to get the vaccine, there s just not been a high demand for the vaccine, said Saur.
