As they were Detectives, I wager they were plainclothes and just wanted to look at a crime scene. As a retired Detective, did the same on occasion. RIP Brothers.

I found this thread and wondered if this one would be here. It wasn’t, likely because it happened in 2017, but it is worthy of mention, and I know damn near everything about it unfortunately.

I was getting off work at my fire station the morning of January 9, 2017. My relief had just walked in about 0715 and we were discussing some things about the engine when the call was dispatched for a shooting involving an OPD officer. Since I’m a paramedic and my relief was an EMT, I told him I’d take the call. I was first to get to Officer Clayton as I parked my rig fairly close to her and ran to where she was laying. I distinctly remember the faces of the officers already on scene- they told me it was not good. I will filter some of what I know for HIPPA purposes. I counted exit/entry wounds quickly and my crews caught up and we started working on her. Got her loaded up in less than 2 minutes en route to our level 1 Truama center. Got her there pretty fast as we had a police escort all the way to the hospital. We offloaded her and the truama team started working on her for approx. 2 minutes when one of the trauma surgeons asked his team “When was the last time we had actual vital signs”. I gave him then answer and based on that he immediately terminated the code. Me and my crews were all stunned and I was pissed as I was hoping they’d be able to give her a chance. Me and 3 other medics worked our asses off in the ambulance on the way to try and help her and our adrenaline was flying at that moment. Cops were all around the trauma bay, crying, and the entire command of OPD and most of my department’s command was also at the hospital. There was nothing else for us to do but to clean up the ambulance and go back to the station.

I had not done this before and not since, but I told my Lt. that I needed to speak with the trauma surgeons to find out why they terminated the code. Surprisingly they granted the meeting and explained everything from their perspective. These were the same guys who had worked the Pulse nightclub shooting, they are excellent at their jobs. For them to grant the meeting was somewhat cathartic for me to learn some details that I cannot share here but it made their decision for them. I had never met her before and had not worked with her but the entire ordeal sent me to therapy for 6 months. To this day, I tell my firefighters there are 3 things that I will get moving faster for: Fires, kids in distress, and if a cop gets shot. I don’t ever want to go through that again.

God love our firefighters and paramedics. There is a true unbreakable kinship between them and LEO's in most communities communities that all first responders can appreciate.
