Firefighter Killed in St. Louis-Area Standoff

[firefighter326]

Is there stiffer penallties by killing a firefighter? I know there is for a police officer. Just wondering. You kill a cop all mighy hell will rain down,is this same for Firefighter or ems??

[mrchiefofsinners]

Please pray for the family of the firefighter who was killed. Please pray for firefighting personel around the country for their job is both difficult and dangerous. Another testimony to the sinfulness of man.

[downloadgoblin]

What!? Who the fuck would want to shoot a firefighter paramedic. REALLY?

[TheRescueFirefighter]

@downloadgoblin its common, Dade county, Florida ems workers(includes fire rescue) have to ware bullet proof vest...and your likely to be shot at within the first 5 years of you working there...

[jerkinking24]

man people are jack assies a paramedic trying to save somebody or make a fire go down man people

[tubegangsta]

Wow, what is wrong with people these days? I don't see why someone would kill an innocent person, let alone a firefighter, a brave man who helps save peoples' lives.

I hope the guy who shot Ryan Hummert got what he deserved - either getting roasted alive or sent to prison rotting in a jail cell for the rest of his life.

[BioHazardViper78]

Ryan Hummert will always be in our hearts and our prayers. Will he never be forgotten. I would of been proud to stand beside him and battle the blaze. God bless. Firefighters stand tall for the fallen. Salute. Stay safe out there

[MEDIC1275]

Being a Paramedic in a shit hole of a city, getting shot is in the back of my mind often. It really is a 'Jungle Out There'!

[Joggaa18]

shooting on firefighter while on rescue-action is one of the most ugly and disgusting things to do!

The shooter should be outlawedfor this, so that everybody in the world can harm him without being punished!

[LysolHitman]

Whoever did that needs to be executed.

[SteveWard3928]

They are not supposed to enter the scene until police have said it is safe to enter. What went wrong?

[wr322]

police were not called to the scene, just the fire dept. No one had an idea someone set it so they could kill someone!

[aguywithasniper]

@SteveWard3928 actually my friend, fire fighters are the first inside of the house in any situation. police are just there for protection and to guide pedestrians. police officers dont get training in any thinf firefighters do maybe except CPR

[chadandconnorprod]

they had no idea there was a gunner. They responded to the call of a truck on fire. police were probably, if any, on seen to direct traffic and keep people back. R.I.P brother ff/paramedic

[TheFireman203]

[JoshyBallz4]

[Skeptic121]

"By noon that home had burned to the ground, but the status of the suspect wasn't known."

With any luck his status was extra-crispy.

[NinjaFattyBoy]

[JoshyBallz4]

[JoshyBallz4]

[TheFireman203]

[TjHUMMERT]

I hate that people can be as bad as to say something rude and disrespectful about the dead my cousin Ryan was the kind of person who would have done anything for anybody and he gets disrespected after dying in the line of duty he was a paramedic he was a firefighter never did it cross our mind that he would get shot on the job but he did at his first fire and people say bad things what has the world come to. i would also like to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers for our family.

[GhostRulesAllways]

Yeah. You take the job knowing you can die from fire, but that DOESN'T include fire-arms! Stupid lunatics who kill such a saint......

[longbeachmustangkid]

sorry about your cousin bro!

[TheFireman203]

may ryan rest in peace he was one of us

[djjohn34]

@TjHUMMERT I am sorry for your loss. Don't let the insensitive people on here get to you. Let's see them get out there and be a public servant and fight fires, deal with accidents and dodge bullets. I praise ALL Firefighters, Paramedics, and Law Enforcement. They are out there risking their lives daily doing what the insensitive folks on here are too scared to do. All these folks do is get on here and make fun of an innocent death or tragedy. Their judgement day will come one day.

[scottyrotten1]

Why would someone shoot a person who's whole 'job' is to save human life?????

[styl0us]

scottyrotten1,

The person that killed him TOOK a human life, and you still asked that question.........?

Is there empty space between your ears?

[essat]

haha firefighters are fags, EMT is the shit

[JustinSneedMD]

Are you fucking serious! What a fucking scrub piece of shit you are you fucking homo. When your house catches on fire after you burn yourself on the crack pipe dont call us please

[coletrain116]

dude who care what he is...he died for no reason...and he was a firefighter paramedic...which means he was also an emt dip shit...firefighter, paramedic, it doesnt matter, we all help people. im a firefighter across the river from st louis, and i love helping people. i remember seeing this on the news and i felt bad for his family. you need to think before you say things asshole

[essat]

haha woah i did my part. im really gettign to you guys=D maybe you guys shud be doctors?

[scottyrotten1]

Maybe you should start being a human being

[scottyrotten1]

haha you are a piece of shit. EMT and firefighter alike do their best to protect lives. Their politics are about saving lives. I hope that they are slow getting to you you selfish piece of shit!!

[roostinu57]

My father knew Ryan, he works near Maplewood at Brentwood hes a firefighter also, this was horrible.

RIP Ryan Hummert

[Howard892]

On a website called Firelink there was A post about firefighters carring a gun I was all for the idea but some people felt it was a really bad idea. Look at this way If that firefighter had been armed this probally woulda been a different story!!!! with One dead and no injuries The one dead woulda been that Sum bitch who shot at the firefighter.

[indomitableRNR]

Oh yeah that's a really good image for EMTs and Firefighters.  The point is that they're NOT cops. They're supposed to be neutral so that this shit doesn't happen regularly. If they carry guns its just like another cop in the neighborhood.

Absolutely tragic. Only the lowest people of this earth would fire at a paramedic.

[essat]

extendos are key for EMT's

[scottyrotten1]

Maybe they carry guns cause asshole like you want to get in their way while they are trying to save a life. In those situations MAYBE the firefighter would rather save the innoccent than the JADED.

[styl0us]

Let's not forget this little factoid....

What happens when the fire fighter walks into a burning building with a loaded gun on his/her hip, and the bullets start to get extremely hot and explode? Dead fire fighters. Them carrying live ammunition wouldn't be the safest alternative.

And don't say "he could take it off". In a rush people forget small shit.

[cobramustangdude]

If we give them guns might as well give teachers guns....or libriarians....he got hit with a rifle it would have not been any different.

[mlps93]

R.I.P

[essat]

oh well another american C- student.. who cares, he was only a yellow coat.

[mnjbooth]

you sir are the biggest piece of shit ive come across on this website...unbelieveable

[dogguy96]

a sad day. i watched it on the news all day

[codyny07]

a Tragic Loss of a young life, my condolences to his family.

[bigguy760]

why in the world would anybody want to shoot at a firefighter. these guys are here to save lives. shooting at the police I can Understand But shoot at a firefighter... come on dude. Remember Firefighters Save lives, Cops Take them

[recruit71]

Yeah fuck you! Cops save lives too bitch. Oh and your moms a whore!

It is sad to hear about the firefighter.

[bigguy760]

Uh... I didnt say anything about your mom. So lets get off of MOMs Because I just got off of yours.

I just gave you my opinion on this Video. Careful what you say Buddy everything you say is public hear and any threat to me is an automatic call to Law Enforcement. (yes the people you are defending).

did you law enforcement are taught to shoot first and to answer questions later.

remember cops carry guns, guns kill

Oh and By the way You need to lear how to spell I have only one mother.

[recruit71]

It is a sad deal about the firefighter. It just bugs me that no one ever gives two shits about Law Enforcement Officers. And yes cops do take lives in order to protect yours. Remember that.

[hippwn123]

LOL! you would really call the cops over a threat on youtube? what a pussy....

[bigguy760]

FUCK YOU! Words Can't Protect Me or My Family When Some Crazy Whacked Out Ass Hole Has A Gun.

[longbeachmustangkid]

ok well as much as I hate to point it out....your grammar isnt that great either buddy....you're telling the other dude to learn how to spell yet you forgot to put "know" in between "you" and "law" and you also said "are taught" instead of "is taught"....

[Hunterbigfoot]

People find any reason to shot at some one, This world is just musted up!

[djjohn34]

@bigguy760 The death of ANY emergency personel is a sad story BUT you are wrong to quote "Cops Take Them (lives)". Police Officers only take a life when a person breaks the law and requires law enforcement to respond that way. If that person refuses to comply with the orders of a Police Officer and excecutes a threat towards the officers or the public citizens, the Officers have to respond to such threat, and unfortunately, sometimes that means deadly force has to be used. Thats the facts

[DX1011985]

SAD. Praying for the family of the Firefighter.

[duckhunter4ever29]

wow, that a sad deal
