Re: Would you search for a shooter?

Being an EMT for 12 years, my first reaction IS to run in to help someone who may be hurt ....but our first rule to remember (and live by) is, "Is the scene safe?"

When I read this question I immediately saw myself heading towards the sounds of gunshot in my desire to help. Now that I'm officially (as of 6 days ago) a CHL holder I'm going to have to do some serious thinking on this. Reading all the other responses has made me second guess my natural instinct to help others. This is one of the most difficult aspects of the emergency personnel who respond to "emergencies" ..... our desire/drive to get in there to help but having to wait til the scene is safe.
Thank you for posing this question, its a good one to contemplate for sure.
