Being Shot is the Top of a Deep Iceberg of Safety Pitfalls

If you are living in a cave, you may have missed the reports today that an EMS crew was shot , ambush-style, while sitting in their ambulance in Tucson, Arizona Sunday. It's difficult to express fully the spectrum of emotions that I experienced upon learning of this incident. I am outraged that two people - I'll call them colleagues because they do what I and my teammates at our company here do each day - have been subjected to this violence while on duty. EMS is there only to help others and serve the community, and now two young members of our extended family are fighting to remain alive because of a random attack. I am saddened that EMS providers have increasingly become the target of violence both from those with psychological issues and those with political agendas. My brothers and sisters in EMS exist, again, to serve the community. We're not out there trying to cause problems for people.  Most of all, however, I am fearful. I am afraid that it will happen to someone
