Cool story. Thanks for sharing it. 8)
wow, that's a crazy story...

If someone forced me to shoot them, I really can't see myself having the empathy to
try to bring them back-even if I had emt training.

When you're an EMT (or Paramedic in this case) it's an automatic response. I don't think he was saving the guys life out of empathy. He just did it because that's what he's trained to do, you don't think about it.

Btw, I'm an EMT-B.
The irony
