Strange Days

Last week we had a very strange occurrence at work, and then it happened again less than an hour later. We were called for a cardiac arrest, and were updated that it was a shooting suicide. When we got there, the police were met with a distraught woman who had come home to discover that her husband had sadly shot himself. They went in, surveyed the damage and put us back in service. The wife refused transport to the hospital, and we headed back to the station.
Not five minutes later we were dispatched to another cardiac arrest. On the way we were updated that it was a shooting suicide. No, wait, we had just done that. But sure enough it was a separate incident. The police were met with a distraught woman who had come home to discover that her husband had sadly shot himself. Again, they went in first, surveyed the damage, and put us in service. We comforted the wife for a few minutes until she calmed down and also refused to go to the hospital.
As we drove away, I decided that if there were another one, I would quit. There wasn't. But in an area where shootings are extremely rare, we had two, seemingly unconnected ones within an hour. Strange.
