Case Studies
You just finished one of the worst incidents of your career. You were the captain of the engine that was first on the scene of a 17-month-old child with multiple stab wounds. The wounds will most likely be fatal. The mother was present, covered with blood, indicating that she was in the other room when the child got hurt. When the police arrived, you told them what you observed and what you were told. You keep running the scene through your mind. The facts you observed did not make sense with what you were told.
