The PD call...d them back and let them know you were just grazed. They’re the ones who let the PD know you were working with them. The four guys in the other car weren’t nearly as lucky. Only two of them were still alive when we got there. Only one made it to the other ambulance, but we heard that he coded even before they got the back door closed.”“Where are we.
