凯文·索托(Kevin Soto)在知道他们是什么之前就听到了镜头。就像其他人经常说的那样,他认为他们是鞭炮。

但是繁荣继续,有些东西使他躲避了掩护。就像他这样做一样,枪声撕裂到了二楼的锻炼区域周二晚上在卡尔洪街上的特伦顿消防站。

Seconds later, Soto felt a “crazy burning sensation” in his left arm. He’d been shot.

“感谢上帝,我还在这里,”这位消防员周三从他的家说。他说,“守护天使”使他鸭子,并可能挽救了他的生命。他因在附近开火的一阵枪声而遭受了无生命的伤口。

Soto, with Engine Co. 1 at the firehouse, which also houses Ladder Co. 1, said now that he’s been able to process the hectic night, which included treatment at a city hospital, he realizes how fortunate he and other firefighters were during the 8:40 p.m. incident.

警方后来发现至少三枚子弹袭击了消防站,一名侦探告诉他,如果他仍然站着,他可能会受到头部的伤害。而且,他与他一起锻炼的另一位消防员刚离开房间喝水。

索托说:“我很感激没有人受伤。”

索托说他想到了9岁的城市女孩被杀害在三月份的一次枪击事件中,她从家附近的枪声中跑来撞车。当局发现,枪击事件的一颗子弹已经驶过马路,并在默瑟县犯罪法院的三楼住了。

Trenton police say the shots that hit the firehouse Tuesday night appear to have come from North Willow Street, where officers were alerted to a shooting by the ShotSpotter gunfire detection system, and later found 11 bullet casings. No charges have been announced in the investigation.

特伦顿消防员被颁发防弹背心当他们接到医疗通话时,很多人穿着。

在周三下午的Facebook上,Soto发布了一张自己的照片,左臂上的绷带绷带,感谢所有与他联系的人。

“我意识到生活的真正含义是我们真的不知道明天会带来什么。我们唯一的事情就是现在……这一刻,”他写道。“生活很短,明天没有承诺。今天享受,因为昨天不见了,明天从未承诺过。”

索托说:“昨晚我紧紧地拥抱了我的孩子。”
