All,
As you know, an Arkansas Firefighter (Lt Jason Adams, 29) was shot and killed in the Line of Duty this morning. Even more tragic is that he was mistaken as being an intruder while inside to assist with a medical emergency this morning. Additionally, reports are that one of the first responding ALS providers was Lt Adam's own wife.
The shooting happened about 0500 hours on Dortch Loop in North Little Rock. Word is that Lt Adams responded to that medical emergency call at the house of Greg Pruitt, after Pruitt's wife called 911. Nearby Sherwood Fire Department officials say Adams, who lives about a half-mile away from the home he was responding to on Dortch Loop, was a 5 year member of Sherwood FD, but was responding as an East Pulaski VFD member.
Reports are that Pruitt was coming out of a seizure, when he mistook Lt. Adams for an intruder.
Pruitt then shot and killed Adams, who was reportedly standing in the doorway of that bedroom.
Cops are still investigating and crews are still processing the scene. No word yet on if any charges are expected to be filed.
