The death of a 15-year-old boy from a gunshot wound in Toronto has raised serious concerns about the emergency response system. Kevin, a witness, described the chaotic scene as he attempted to assist the victim alongside two other teenagers. A call to 911 resulted in a prolonged hold, leaving Kevin feeling helpless. Despite efforts to keep the boy conscious, he succumbed to his injuries, marking the 14th homicide in Toronto this year. The incident reveals alarming gaps in emergency communication and response that could impact life-saving efforts.
"We didn't know what we were supposed to do. What we did was what we thought was best, because we felt left alone..."
"It's ridiculous. A 15-year-old died, and no one is answering. I was on hold for like 10 minutes."
