CHAMBERLAIN HILLS - A mass casualty shooting on Forum Drive and Carson Avenue in Chamberlain Hills sends two Firefighters and two civilians to hospital with serious injuries.

At 20:56 on Tuesday, May the 28th, 2019, the Los Santos Fire Department dispatched an Ambulance to a reported Shooting at Forum Drive and Carson Avenue in Chamberlain Hills. On arrival they found and begun to treat one civilian for a Gun Shot Wound (GSW).

A routine call for the Los Santos Fire Department, the GSW was being treated by EMT Firefighters Piper Robinson and Ashleigh Huston before an additional shooting occurred in which Firefighter Robinson and another civilian was hit. Firefighter Huston was hit by a blunt force object believed to be a vehicle. 
At 21:07 Firefighter Robinson sent out the call for help and transmitted a Code 0. Within minutes, three additional ambulances and a command unit were dispatched to the scene.

A Code 0 is an "Emergency Situation, all available units are to attend." and is transmitted during major emergency situations when all available units are required to attend.

 

The first backup Ambulance, Rescue Basic 5, arrived on scene at 21:09 and immediately begun assisting the fallen Firefighters, with Rescue Basic 4 arriving on scene shortly afterwards. At 21:15 Rescue Basic 5 transmitted "We have triage, multiple red casualties, EMT's down, we are Code 0 at Forum Drive."

Within minutes Rescue Intermediate 3 and Battalion 1 arrived on scene and an Incident Command was established, with additional police cars from the LSPD also arriving. Both EMT Firefighters and the two civilians were treated and transported to an area hospital with a variety of injuries before the incident was declared static after the last patient was transported from the scene at 21:38. 

The reasons behind the shooting, believed to be a drive-by in which 4 were injured, are still being investigated by the Los Santos Police Department. Contact LSPD's Media Relations And Community Affairs Division for more information. 
Firefighter Huston still remains in hospital under intensive care while in a coma. Please extend your thoughts and prayers to them, their family and friends through this difficult time.

Dispatched LSFD Units: B1, RB1, RI3, RB4, RB5
