Medic 741 treated a 53-year-old man who was shot at his home in a residential neighborhood of Bethesda.
Medic 741 responded with units from the Bethesda and Glen Echo Fire Departments at about 7:30 p.m. to a report of a shooting to the 6800 block of Millwood Road. Units arrived on scene to find a middle-aged male who had been shot with a handgun while in a car inside his garage. Recognizing the severity of the situation, crews conducted a rapid trauma assessment and quickly transferred the victim to the medic unit. Once enroute to the hospital, they started an IV to counter the blood loss, administered oxygen, and bandaged the wounds.
