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.
Sorry to this has once again occurred... we spend our shifts putting ourselves out there to help everyone regardless of what they have done... then comes an idiot like this and kills someone who has a good heart and morals, hurting / killing the one person, stopping to help this scum ... another reason for firefighters and other responders to understand that the human is an unforgiving animal... and that safety is priority one!.... my heart goes out to this family along with his fellow responders...
