How is it that Sarah Palin says something rather innocuous and gets blamed for a shooting; Donald Trump says something rather innocuous and gets blamed for violence; but Black Lives Matter can outright call for the killing of police officers in blatant language, and...nothing.

It's a risk all firefighter/EMT's take when we go to a home. Remember, the occupant didn't call for them, someone else did. Who knows, the occupant may be hard of hearing and this may still have happened.

Also they forced entry. Have you ever had anyone try to force entry into your home? Again, he wasn't the one who called. He could have thought someone was breaking in. As far as uniforms, they are dark and unassuming.

When Fire/EMS are sent to a home to "check the well-being" of an individual it is usually based on a real concern on the part of a family member or neighbor. Upon arrival at the home, the assembled emergency personnel will evaluate the situation, contact dispatch who will or not try to contact the homeowner or additional family and neighbors, bang on doors and windows, look for keys and generally make their presence known. When all else fails, they look for the easiest path into the house. The individual making entry makes a lot of noise! Usually the entry person yells the homeowners name and the words, "hello!" and "fire department". Checking the well-being happens everyday all over the country and saves many lives. This incident probably won't change that.

I can process how a scared individual accidentally shoots someone. I cannot, and probably will never, be able to fathom how somebody "accidentally" shot 3 people! Even when knocking on a door, most departments have their members stand to a side and not directly in front of a door. Let the investigation take place and see where it goes. Let's give our condolences to the family of Paramedic Ulmschneider and hope something like this never happens again.
