The Pullman Easter Massacre

I got ready for my show this morning. I had Karl on the show talking about the Easter Massacre. He was on for the full two hours talking about the events leading up to the shootings and the actual day of the shooting. It was fun to go over it. It seems like I learn more each time I hear Karl talk about it.

After the show I went to work. I was helping Andrew with a problem he was having. During the a call for a car accident came out. I went to the station but ended up not going on it. I went back to work and did some more things before I got ready to go to My Office to sign the roster. I walked out to my truck and remembered I needed a new battery for my pager so I went back inside my office and I heard my scanner. A call was going out. So I grabbed the battery and went on it.

That was the start of the night for the calls. We pretty much ran calls from then until four in the morning with some breaks. After the first call, however, we were doing some training about extrication. During that training Station One guys were going to Cougar Country for ice cream and invited us to go. We went along with the full-timers from the Deuce as well.

The calls were running most of the night from that point on. I had time to get some dinner around midnight. I was doing some stuff on the computer, but each time I got going on something a call would come in.

Our final call came in around four in the morning. It was after that when I was able to go to sleep. I was getting pretty tired. I had not planned on staying up quite that late.
