While entering an apartment building to help a person complaining of chest pain, you hear shots being fired. You believe someone is shooting a gun during an argument. What should you do FIRST? See if you can proceed around the area the sounds came from toward your original patient. Take cover immediately. Contact the police department by radio for assistance. You should wait for them to arrive before continuing to the original call. Begin making extra noise to let everyone know you are in the area and you are with the fire department and EMS response. Clanify you are not the police. Yell that you’re with the police department and command the person come out with their hands in the air. Sound confident and repeat the instruction if the shooter does not follow your command.
