During a press briefing on Thursday, Minneapolis EMS Chief Marty Scheerer spoke about how some of the nurses had children that attended the Catholic school and might have been threatened by the shooting.
00:00Can you give an update on the condition of 50s?
00:04I mean, I'm going to leave that to the...
00:08Yeah, I mentioned at the outset that we have six patients that are in satisfactory condition, five children.
00:14We have two in serious condition, one adult, one child, and one patient yet in critical condition who's a child.
00:21Is somebody with this? Another patient was discharged from this time?
00:24Correct. I believe one patient was discharged, yeah.
00:27Yeah, we're discharging.
00:30One, maybe two this morning.
00:32Six in satisfactory, three in serious, and...
00:35Two in serious and one in critical condition.
00:38And one in critical, thank you.
00:41The two in serious are expected to survive?
00:44Yes, I believe so.
00:46I think it's more touch and go. I'd rather not share more detail at the present.
00:53I have a question for the doctor.
00:56I really appreciate you sharing, Lana's act, CBS News, the story about a member of the health care team who was there just supporting children because I think the entire nation is feeling a bit of that.
01:10And as you said, your attention is on the families, and I understand that a member of your team was both working as a health care provider and a mother.
01:21Can you tell us anything about the critical care pediatric nurse, Amy Jean Dreyer, and her actions yesterday?
01:32We can't. I mean, our structure of how we protect patients and families doesn't allow us to comment specifically on circumstances. I'm sorry.
01:39I understood. I just wanted to give you an opportunity to praise one of your own.
01:46I would, yeah. I'm going to defer. I would say all the families are asking for prayers and support, so that's about as much as I'm willing to share.
01:54We did have a number of people that have children at the school. One of our paramedics has a student there.
02:00I know several nurses have students there, so it was impactful for the whole organization, yeah.
