A D.C. firefighter was shot Sunday while tending to a shooting victim around 4 p.m. in Southwest, police said.
A D.C. Fire and EMS spokesman said the firefighter was transported to a local hospital with injuries described as non-life threatening.
NBC Washington’s Darcy Spencer reported the EMT is now out of the hospital.
The incident occurred after a man and woman were shot in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven at the corner of Martin Luther King Avenue and South Capitol Street, police said.
Someone fired additional shots a short time later, striking a firefighter who was tending to one of the victims.
Update – The firefighter EMT is out of the hospital and in good spirits. The whole team from that was on scene is shaken up. The acting chief says the fire truck shielded some of his firefighters. It sustained multiple bullet holes.
