Kansas City, Mo. – In the officials who called “a senseless action”, a paramedic in Kansas City, Missouri, was fatally stabbed on Sunday – supposedly by a patient that he transported to a hospital.

The 29-year-old firefighter paramedic Graham Hoffman, since 2022, was at the Kansas City fire department.

“In the early Sunday morning, the fireman Hoffman was critically injured after he was stabbed into his chest, pierced his heart and transported a patient to a local hospital, which began as a routine medical call for the police,” said a statement by the city. “His partner immediately initiated a crew emergency.”

He was brought to the North Kansas City Hospital, where he died of his injuries, said fire chief Ross Grundyson.
