After an occupied Elmwood Place ambulance wad damaged, a probe is underway to determine if it was caused by bullets.
"They're not sure where it may have even came from. But there were three members on that unit. One sitting in the back when the back window was busted out," Elmwood Place Fire Chief David McCarnan told WLWT Sunday afternoon, adding that the crew is OK.
There are two large impact areas where the vehicle's glass was shattered.
"Everybody's shaken up currently. I went to the station this afternoon to talk to them. I mean, they're just visibly shaken up from from the incident, not knowing what's going on."
The EMS personnel believe shots caused the damage to the ambulance, not rocks.
