Ooops.

A few days ago a crew was notified by the police that it was safe to enter a scene:

It turns out that decision was perhaps a little "premature" and now there are quite a few people on both sides of the fence having a look at what happened. This kind of thing has happened many times before with varying degrees of seriousness. These scenes are often chaotic, always difficult and I'm sure it's easy for human error to occur in the heat of the moment. I'm glad this time none of the people (police and ambos) who responded to this scene got injured while trying to help this patient, but I also hope this issue gets sorted out.

Scary stuff, aside from the risk to police and ambulance, isn't it odd that most people (well the general public) don't associate gun wielding domestic violence from people in their 70's
