he was even looking at me saying you didn t look good before the shooting. it took me a minute to realize, hey, i m still getting humor out of this. i can hear everything he s saying and sergeant kellermann, and i joke around a lot with one another and when he said that, i just wanted to everybody had a role out there on that scene. the officers that responded by shooting back had a role that they played. also really when he arrived, he took on the role of being on my side. he knew i had been hit. i can t say enough about what he did and me being there on the ground and seeing all of that blood, i knew i was going to die. i m sticking with you, okay. narrator: sergeant kellermann is losing a lot of blood. somehow he has the presence of mind to call his wife. i could talk about this whole event. it s talking about my wife that gets to me. i remember dialing her number and thinking, god, i hope she answers. and she answered. i remember saying, baby, i ve been shot. i don t know
