A crazed gunman shot and killed 22 year-old Firefighter Ryan Hummert. Ryan, a firefighter/paramedic and son of Maplewood, Mo, ex-mayor Andy Hummert, was just 10 months into his promising career as a firefighter.
A 5:40am call for a pickup truck fire brought Ryan and his company out. As they were getting out of their apparatus on the fire scene, gunshots ran out and Ryan was struck and killed. Two other officers were also injured in the barrage of bullets. Apparently, the bullets came from a house across the street from where the pickup was burning, and it is believed that the suspect was holed up in there.
As of this time, the fire is out and they are still searching for the remains of the suspect. Read more about the Maplewood, Mo shooting here.
Please keep Ryan and his family in your thoughts tonight.
