[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I truly don’t understand why it took so long for a medical response for this young man. Did Magruder tell 911 that the student was shot? [/quote]

Did EMS response take long?  I thought the controversy was that they weren't sure of the method of injury and it took 28 minutes to call for law enforcement backup. [/quote]

The initial call was for a possible stab wound. From the timelines I’ve seen it isn’t clear as to when medical arrived. But 15 minutes after the initial call, fire and rescue requested an advanced life support unit and 22 minutes after that the ambulance was en route to the hospital. As for law enforcement, the sheriff arrived 15 minutes after the initial 911 call. 9 minutes later he calls for back up. Four minutes later the injury is identified as a gunshot wound and priority response is given.

A child can die from a stab wound. What is an advance life support unit and why did it take a total of 37 minutes from the time of the 911 call till the time the ambulance was en route to the hospital? [/quote]
That's one to take up with the County Council and Exec. Try as DCUM might to blame MCPS for all the ills of the world, MCPS doesn't run 911.[/quote]
