On Monday, February 7, 2011 at 18:45 PM, several Rescue Ambulances were dispatched to Ryder Block, in Willowfield, responding to reports of shots being fired.
Whilst making his way through gang-ridden Willowfield, Engineer/Paramedic Arthur Quin was fired upon with an MP5 sub-machine gun. He left his ambulance unscathed and requested for immediate assistance, to which members of the Los Santos Police Department responded.
Regardless of the fact that his ambulance was riddled with bullets and inoperative, Quin remained on-scene to see to a young child that had suffered a gunshot wound to his back. His shooter was no-where to be seen.
Just minutes after the LSPD's departure (leaving on the assumption that the situation had de-escalated) Quin was subjected to more close-range gunfire, this time sustaining multiple gunshot wounds to his chest. Firefighters and sheriff's deputies battled to keep him alive, in which they were successful.
Quin and 2 other people were taken to All Saint's General Hospital in critical condition, where they later underwent emergency treatment. 5 others lost their lives.
It is currently unknown to the Los Santos Fire Department as to why Quin was fired at, but police officials have speculated that the shootout itself was part of an ongoing gang altercation. We wish Arthur Quin and anyone else injured in the vicious attack a speedy recovery.
