Some news info with video clips of the police scene
I thought I’d share this as it happened last night about 5 minutes drive away from where I work. There was a taxi surrounded by police and paramedics all shouting and looking scared when I arrived at work last night at 19:00. My out of hours GP Centre is next to A&E (ED or ER in USA). This is not a common occurrence where I live.
30 minutes later there were armed police everywhere and ambulances were having to wait to check patients into A&E.
I didn’t get to see anything sadly. The guy was in cardiac arrest on arrival and could not be saved. Emergency doctors apparently performed an emergency thoracotomy and open chest resuscitation but the guy was fucked before they started- at least one gunshot wound in the chest.
It made for a slightly more interesting shift than usual. I felt sorry for the taxi driver that had the victim shoved into his car as the taxi became part of the crime scene and was still there with forensics when I left 5 hours later.
