TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The family of an EMT killed in a fire-turned-shooting incident in Tucson last month is announcing plans to lay him to rest.
Jacob Dindinger, 20, was killed on July 18 while responding to a medical call at Silverlake Park. A man drove up to the ambulance and shot Dindinger and another EMT at the scene. The suspect then drove to the scene of a house fire and began shooting at firefighters and neighbors at the scene. A Tucson Police officer shot the suspect a few blocks away from the fire.
Dindinger was critically injured and remained hospitalized for nearly two weeks before he died. In total, four people died in the incident including the suspect.
