ST. Louis FireFighter Shot and Killed Trying to help at a Car Wreck.

A ST. Louis Firefighter was shot and killed tonight . The Firefighter stopped to help what he thought was a car wreck. Little did he know it was a robbery suspect who just robbed a store and wrecked a car he stole. The robber then shot the ST. Louis Firefighter in the chest and stole his Fire Dept. Vehicle. The suspect then crashed and got into a shootout with police officers. The ST. Louis Firefighter was taken to a nearby Hospital where he later died of his injuries. The suspect was also killed by police. Let us take time to pray for his family and friends. Let him rest in peace.

What a terrible lose to his family, the St. Louis FD and fire service, sounds like he was a good guy just doing what he thought was best to assist someone in trouble.

Keepin his family and friends in prayer, as well as the entire Fire and Rescue family throughout the world. We have lost another brother to individuals who slip through the cracks of our legal system. Yet, we still do our jobs no matter who is involved. May God have mercy on the soul of the individual who killed him. Keepin everyone in thought and prayer daily..... take care and stay safe

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and the St. Louis Fire Department. That just really sucks and that is also why most people will not stop and try to help. This is really sad and unfortunate. It really scares me to think that there are people out there that will hurt somebody who is just trying to help.
