00:31Minneapolis police officer Yousef Hassan is a father.
00:34He says that made it even more difficult for him responding to the horrific scene,
00:39but he knew he couldn't let his emotions get the best of him.
00:42I think everybody can agree that kids are the only true innocents in this world.
00:45He was one of hundreds of officers, first responders, paramedics, and parents and staff at Annunciation
00:51to come together, to work together, to save as many lives as possible.
00:56Officer Liban Ibrahim was there, helping to make sure the kids were getting loaded onto
01:01the ambulances quickly.
01:03Trying to process the whole thing, but at the same time, focus on those kids.
01:08That was a critical piece in the operation, because the injured were taken according to
01:12severity to different hospitals, not overwhelming any one hospital, again in the end saving many
01:19lives.
