Man tried to kill paramedics by crashing into ambulance

From the Redding Searchlight:

A Cottonwood man tried to kill two paramedics and an emergency medical technician Saturday night by crashing his truck into the ambulance they occupied outside Mercy Medical Center’s emergency room in Redding, police said.

At 9:21 p.m, officers received a call reporting that someone was ramming a pickup into a parked ambulance near Mercy’s emergency room, said Cpl. Jon Poletski with the Redding Police Department.

Wood said one of the men inside the ambulance got out and helped treat Haller after he tried to kill them.

“They went out and started treating this guy,” he said. “One of them started doing an examination (on Haller).”
