Line Of Duty Death: Captain Jack Wolfsbane Tuesday, 29th January 2019 LSFD Public Relations: Chloe MacKenzie Captain Jack Wolfsbane in formal attire. It is with great sadness the Los Santos Fire Department announces the Line Of Duty Death of Captain Jack Wolfsbane of Station 7, El Burro Heights following a Mass Casualty Shooting in Chamberlain Hills, Los Santos. CHAMBERLAIN HILLS - At 22:25 on the 28th January 2019, the Fire Department received notification by the Los Santos Police Department of a police vehicle on fire in an alleyway off Forum Drive. Fire Engine 1 was dispatched to incident #19-11147. On arrival crews found a police car fully involved in flame with exposures to a structure, and requested an additional engine to assist. Fire Engine 2 responded and the fire was quickly knocked down a few minutes later without spread to surrounding property. Due to the suspicious circumstances regarding the fire, Marshall 1 was also dispatched and took over from Engines 1 and 2. Dispatched LSFD Units: E1, E2, MS1 A police cruiser blocks access to the alleyway as the situation evolves. During the Fire Marshall's investigation, a shootout occurred in which one female police officer was hit and a message for assistance was sent at 23:14 for a shooting (Incident #19-11148). Fire crews responded back to the scene with Rescue Intermediate 1 to provide emergency medical assistance while police secured the area. During treatment more gunfire erupted, forcing fire crews to take cover and shield the patient while other officers returned fire. Unfortunately during the shootout one Firefighter, Captain Jack Wolfsbane, and one Police Officer were fatally struck by gunfire, alongside various others who received non-life threatening injuries. Those who were fatally struck were declared deceased on scene at 23:27. The incident spread over several blocks as more reports of shootings came in. A Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) was declared and a call for additional crews was sent. Engine 1, Rescue Basics 2, 3 and 4 were dispatched alongside numerous other police resources. A SWAT Insurgent joins the scene with various other specialist police and fire resources. A considerable amount of police resources swarmed the area, locking down surrounding roads and setting up a perimeter - evacuating civilians from the scene. SWAT teams were mobilised to secure complexes, alongside teams positioned on rooftops while a police helicopter flew over on the lookout for further suspects. One male suspect, believed to be the primary shooter, was located on a rooftop having sustained multiple Gun Shot Wounds (GSWs). Police secured the scene while LSFD Medics treated the gunman before Firefighters from Engine 1 used a rope rescue system to remove the injured from the rooftop. He was taken to a waiting ambulance under heavy police protection before being escorted to an area hospital. All other patients, police officers and suspects, were also treated and transported to nearby hospitals. Eventually the scene was considered static at 00:18 and LSPD investigators moved in to take over. As of time of publish, the number of casualties reported stands at 8. This number may change. We extend our sympathies and respect to the families, friends and colleagues of Captain Jack Wolsfbane, and the Police Officer's name who's yet to be announced, during this tragic time. Rest In Peace. Funeral and trial information is yet to be announced.
