Police Shooting Research Paper

The back door opened and a person donning a ski mask and a shotgun raced down the narrow hall of patient rooms in Dr. Larzelere’s office and shot him in the chest. A patient waiting in one of the rooms to see the doctor heard him say as he was being shot, “Jason, is that you”?. (McCoy, 2013, Frederick, 2009). The perpetrator then fled the scene. Virginia Larzelere called 911 and screamed for help saying her husband had been shot. The people in the office at the time were, a dental assistant, a patient, and Virginia, who was the office manager. The murder took place in the dental office in Edgewater, Florida, on March 8, 1991.

In the article "GSW" Courtney Moreno states the patient was a GSW: gunshot wound. The patient's information was unknown so he was referred as John Doe. He was heavily tattooed so they assumed he was a gang member. The Police arrived and were on scene much sooner than the EMTs were. They didn't call it in because they thought he was dead. While they were looking for clues towards the case, they noticed the patient was still alive. The piece of his mind that controlled his breathing remained, amazingly, in place. They rushed him to the ER. They then knew this was a case of a dying man. The patient passed away in the ER. Moreno's partner didn’t think he was worth saving. Moreno didn't think it was their decision whether someone dies or not. After

Two hours had passed by of complete chaos when finally, we heard the police officers yell put the gun down! Put the gun down! Two people came out the front door of the bank. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing it was our friend Devon I recognized his red “NC STATE” sweatshirt he wore it all the time. He had a woman in front of him kind of like a shield and was holding a gun to her head. The police kept yelling to put the gun down and he didn’t he kept walking down the side walk in front of the bank it felt like hours passed but it was only about a minute that passed when the gun shots started. They hit him one after another watching my friend who I knew for over 4 years who was kind, gentle and so full of life become so lifeless in a matter of seconds was an image that will forever be burned in my mind. Everyone around me was relieved it was over to them he committed a crime he was the bad guy but to me this was nothing but tragedy I didn’t understand not at all. What happened? Why did this happen? Why did he do this?

On May 15, 2016 at approximately 2335 hours Security Officers Steven Evans and Omar Alonso were in the E.D.

MICU 15A was dispatched to 30 West Ave, @ Genesis Healthcare, Wayne Center in the Wayne Business District in Radnor Township, for an ALS Emergency, Assault Victim. The weather conditions were cloudy, cool and dry. MICU 15A responded with care per protocol to the stated location with EMT Straub driving. On arrival, the EMS Crew proceeded to the nurse's station, and the individuals there did not know anything about an incident, there was a female standing in one of the hallways who advised that there was a person sitting over where she was. The EMS crew proceeded to that area and found a 43-year old female who was a registered nurse and was conscious and alert x4 and was sitting on a chair, the EMS crew asked her what was happening, "she replied that she was in a patient room and stated that the patient had an IV in her arm and became disturbed and picked up a pocketbook and then assaulted her by the swing it and striking her in the right frontal region of the head", the nurse then exited the room and went and sat down in the hallway, where the EMS crew found her.

As I exited my vehicle i was rushed by two females stating their cousin had been shot, then two other females appeared from the front corner of the house screaming "she's been shot do something". I observed a Black female lying half in the seat half in the floor board behind the drivers seat. I approached the vehicle and noticed the female was still breathing but bleeding profusely from the mouth area. While trying to keep the females out of the vehicle and secure the scene the best I could the female stopped breathing, I then checked for a pulse and was not able to find one.

After the incident, first responders administered CPR and treated the victim's wounds that he got on the back, shoulder, and head after he was shot by the gun.

Stories of mass shootings have been broadcasted via media coverage for many decades, with the number of shootings increasing rather than decreasing. The question of why such mass shootings continue to occur more frequently has provoked many thoughts to circulate society regarding why this happens, raising questions about what is best for the public’s safety as well as how to  inform the public about what has occurred. According to Mark Follman, the national affairs editor who leads a team which is researching and reporting gun violence for a renounced magazine, “Mother Jones”,  “there is a growing body of forensic evidence that mass shooters emulate their most infamous predecessors...there are now clear indications that some individuals who plan and carry out these crimes are influenced by sensational news

In reality, there are limited places that violence cannot happen, however, we are often surprised by some of the places violence does take place. One of the places many don’t expect violence to take place is in the hospital. Hospitals are designed to promote safety and provide medical care and nursing treatment for sick or injured people. Unfortunately, on January 12, 2016 a hospital security guard and a police officer endured near-fatal shootings by a drug-affected patient in Nepal. Rachel Olding, the author of an article written February 4, 2016 points out some concerns, thoughts, and ideas for improvement taken from hospital workers who have seen and experienced hospital violence firsthand. Hospitals need to be a place of safety for their patients, staff, and visitors.

Last Monday in the quaint town of Park City the residents were astonished to hear the news regarding a shooting that took place early Monday morning. The victim of the shooting was Jose Fernandez. He was 37 years old and worked and lived in Park City. The shooter James Henfling, a 27-year-old, Midvale resident, is being charged with a first-degree murder and could face three years to life in prison. Unfortunately, Fernandez died at a Salt Lake hospital around 5:45 pm. Additional charges may be added to Henfling due to the Fernandez’s death.

Police shootings of young Black males that ultimately result in their death have become an all-too-common occurrence in this country. The deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Gardner have highlighted police relations with this population. Before viable solutions can be established, a number of areas need to be addressed that relate to the historical context in which police relations with this group exist that impact current relations between the police and young Black males, why their lives are seemingly given less value by society than those of their White counterparts, the role that spirituality and religiosity play that may help to make connections between them and the police, and the benefit of the Black church in fostering amicable police relations with young Black males.
