SHES recordings: Police dispatchers seem to delay arrival of EMS personnel

“Well, I’m not sending them in yet,” said one Newtown Police dispatcher, in apparent reaction to a report of a wounded adult in the school. In the background, just before the dispatcher’s remarks, is the report of  “a female party shot in the foot” in the classroom facing the playground. Another recording includes an exchange between the wounded adult and a dispatcher, who told the woman to apply pressure to their wound.
