The woman we attempted to assist on my last on-call of the year, has succumbed to her injuries. It was the circumstances surrounding this pickup that have given me pause as to whether I will continue in the Spring.

While the majority of all pickups are safe w/no interference, and all protections are in place, there's always the potential a victim's escape can go awry as it did in this case. The risk & danger for the team was intense.

The perp was apprehended. Investigation is ongoing.
