There was a blood trail from the ambulance bay into the ER.

Tony Smith is a former firefighter/paramedic who transitioned into flight medicine — and he was the critical care medic responsible for transporting Dom after his line-of-duty shooting.

Before anyone confirmed it, Tony knew it was a cop. The police presence was overwhelming. Drones overhead. Helicopters in the air. When they landed at Bolingbrook, he remembers walking into the hospital and seeing blood leading into the trauma bay.

While Dom was in CT, Tony and his partner split roles. One reviewing live scans. The other priming blood, preparing TXA and calcium, setting up the ventilator — working toward their 15-minute transfer goal. Their mindset is simple: if a patient has a chance, they move fast to get them to the highest level of care available.

He remembers Dom fighting the tube. Moving all four extremities. A sign that there was still a fight left in him.

For the first time, Tony sits across from a former patient and revisits that night from inside the aircraft cabin. This episode isn’t about the gunfire. It’s about what happens after — when speed, training, and controlled decision-making determine whether someone makes it.

Still Here 🤙🏻
