EMSA tells KRMG a window was busted out of an ambulance Saturday morning at about 2 a.m.
The ambulance was sitting near the intersection of 11th and Utica when the medics inside heard the window break. EMSA tells us the medics were not hurt and there were no patients inside the unit.
Tulsa police tell us it looks like someone shot the front passenger window with a pellet gun.
Luckily, no one was hurt in this situation, but medics tell us they’re in dangerous situations quite frequently. They say that’s why first responders should be armed.
“We legally have no way to defend ourselves. Even if you are trained and licensed to carry a fire arm, you cannot legally carry any type of weapon on an ambulance.” A Tulsa area medic said.
He added that most medics don’t wish it was required for them to carry, just that it wasn’t banned. That way EMS companies could make that call.
