| MI paramedic shoots, then treats robbery suspect |
| 2007-11-21 |
| A Flint man held up a gas station, then led police on a chase. At some point he confronted the sheriff's office paramedic with a gun. The suspect refused to drop his gun, so the paramedic shot him several times, then proceeded to treat him. The paramedic is a military reservist and sharpshooter who served in Iraq. The suspect was hospitalized in critical condition. I'm sure there's a lawsuit in this case somewhere. I was surprised to learn of armed paramedics in the US. |

| #3 Anyone who points a gun at a paramedic SHOULD be shot. It should be the law. |

| #2 I question his abilities, either he's a poor shot, or a very good medic, (Or knowing he had to patch him up, placed his shots to do minimum damage) |

| #1 Many Paramedics do dual duty in this country, especially those employed by the law enforecment arm of many US municipalities. Syracuse NY for example arms its Paramedics that are also sworn police officers. Maryland Medical Evac helicopters are staffed by State Trooper/Paramedics. Great Concept!!!! |
