More medics kept asking to go in and rescue wounded at Stoneman Douglas. They kept being told no.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High children lay dying. Outside, the Coral Springs deputy fire chief repeatedly asked a Broward sheriff's commander for permission to send his medics inside the school but was rebuffed.

"The incident commander advised me: 'She would have to check,'" Deputy Chief Michael McNally wrote in a report released Thursday by the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department.

At the time, the shooter had not been caught, creating a dangerous situation for all but a handful of specially trained SWAT paramedics that already were inside.

But McNally kept asking for permission for additional medics, assigned to a Rescue Task Force, to go into rooms that had already been searched and found to be safe, to quickly extract and treat the wounded. Again he said he was told by the sheriff's commander that she "would have to check before approving this request."

the John Goodman character Creighton Bernette was being interviewed and he told the reporter that the horrid results of Hurricane Katrina were a fuck up of epic proportions. That seems to be an applicable take away from this incident.
