4 Firefighters Shot, Two Killed, at Fire Scene

Read Time:1 Minute, 14 Second

Here’s yet something else that the most despicable man in America, NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre, can explain away.  Firefighters, men and women who dedicate their lives to saving life and property, have become the targets of yet another of America’s gun lovers.

(Newser) At least two firefighters were killed and two others hospitalized after someone shot at them while they responded to a fire that has now engulfed three houses in Webster, New York. The fire broke out at a single home at around 5:45am. Firefighters arrived soon thereafter, but came under fire after exiting their vehicles. For hours, the gunfire held the firefighters back, as the flames expanded to neighboring homes, CNN reports.

The fire is still burning, but there are no longer any active shooters on the scene, the local sheriff tells the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle. Firefighters are waiting for police to clear the scene, while authorities evacuate residents and search the area. “Some people on this bus already watched their houses burn,” said one resident being evacuated. “They’re not happy.” It’s unclear how many firefighters were shot; at least one managed to escape after being hit, and is currently in the hospital in satisfactory condition.

Rochester police are now saying this was deliberate to get the firefighters our so they could be shot at.

I am so sorry for the lives taken of these service providers! Now, under attack….teachers, nurses, children, and firefighters…is there anything sacred? The world is upside down.
