Nothing could be done to save Nona McEwan香蕉视频直播檚 life, an ER physician at Royal Columbian Hospital testified Monday.

香蕉视频直播淣o, unfortunately,香蕉视频直播� Dr. Pearlly Ng replied, asked if her condition was survivable.

Ng was called as a witness at a coroner香蕉视频直播檚 inquest into the deaths of Randy Crosson, 48, and Nona McEwan, 45, both killed by police bullets during a March 29, 2019 hostage-taking in the Whalley house McEwan rented. Crosson used McEwan as a human shield, the inquest heard.

香蕉视频直播淒uring the transportation she unfortunately lost her vital signs,香蕉视频直播� Ng said. The paramedics had started CPR and notified the hospital they were 10 minutes away. Ng activated the trauma team and contacted the blood bank to initiate the 香蕉视频直播渕assive transfusion protocol, anticipating that I would receive a patient who had sustained a large amount of blood loss.香蕉视频直播�

When McEwan arrived, they were unable to regain a pulse, and her time of death was declared at 8:18 a.m. She香蕉视频直播檇 lost consciousness at 7:33 a.m. She was shot at 7:25 a.m., the inquest heard.

香蕉视频直播淚 think they did everything they could on scene,香蕉视频直播� Ng said, 香蕉视频直播渂ased on the information I was provided.香蕉视频直播�

Royal Columbian, at 330 East Columbia St. in New Westminster, is a Level 1 trauma centre, Ng noted. 香蕉视频直播淪o we regularly see people that have sustained gunshot wounds.香蕉视频直播�

McEwan was shot twice, in her right arm and right abdomen.

Coroner Margaret Janzen is presiding over the inquest in Burnaby, at Coroners香蕉视频直播� Court. It香蕉视频直播檚 expected to run for two weeks, with a jury of four women and a man hearing testimony.

A Surrey-based police watchdog 香蕉视频直播� the Independent Investigations Office 香蕉视频直播� in 2020 found the ERT blameless in the shooting deaths of McEwan and Crosson, whom authorities say was holding McEwan against her will in her rented home. The standoff saw roughly two dozen police vehicles, as well as an armoured vehicle, surround a home in a cul-de-sac near 132A Street and 100A Avenue.

McEwan was killed when she was struck by two police bullets as ERT officers fired on Crosson, who held a large knife to her throat and had 香蕉视频直播渨hat appeared to be香蕉视频直播� a gun in his hand. Forensic police later found a 香蕉视频直播渞ealistic-looking香蕉视频直播� replica pistol between the bed and the wall. Crosson was pronounced dead at the scene and McEwan died on the way to hospital.

Cpl. Luke Johnston, a 香蕉视频直播渂reacher香蕉视频直播� with the Emergency Response Team since 2011, also testified on Monday. He said he香蕉视频直播檇 been deployed 500 香蕉视频直播渙r so香蕉视频直播� times 香蕉视频直播� about 50 per year 香蕉视频直播� on ERT calls before March 29, 2019. He set the charge to blow open the bedroom door to get to the couple. The risk assessment, he said, 香蕉视频直播渨as extreme.香蕉视频直播�

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 about as high as I think I could go in my risk assessment in my career so far.香蕉视频直播�

Johnston said he fired four rounds at the centre of Crosson香蕉视频直播檚 abdomen.

香蕉视频直播淭here香蕉视频直播檚 a initial volley of gunfire that I hear,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 not sure if he香蕉视频直播檚 firing back at us, perhaps firing a number of rounds at us, I香蕉视频直播檓 not sure if some or our guys are down at this point, but there香蕉视频直播檚 this initial volley.香蕉视频直播�

Crosson was on the bed, and in his left hand was a pistol with a closed grip on it.

香蕉视频直播淚 see Miss McEwan, who is there, and this is all in close proximity, but then I say something to the effect of let香蕉视频直播檚 get her out. Like let香蕉视频直播檚 get her out.香蕉视频直播�

She had 香蕉视频直播渒ind of a startled look on her face,香蕉视频直播� Johnston said. 香蕉视频直播淟ike a look of shock. We moved her from there, I think I grabbed one of her legs, but we moved her to the kitchen area,香蕉视频直播� where the medical assessment began.香蕉视频直播�

Johnston was questioned about sympathetic fire, also known as 香蕉视频直播渃ontagion香蕉视频直播� fire, where under high stress police start shooting because other police are.

Asked if that香蕉视频直播檚 what happened here, Johnston replied no. 香蕉视频直播淚 perceived Mr. Crosson to, or the suspect in this case, to essentially have a firearm in their hand, and based on the movement of the hand and the gun, my interpretation was, or could be, essentially cause us harm at any point in time, and that香蕉视频直播檚 how I essentially formed my opinion and made the decision to engage with him at that point in time.香蕉视频直播�

The inquest continues.
