Officials said three emergency medical technicians were in the truck responding to a call for service Friday when the shooting happened in the 3100 block of Northwest 19th Street.

The truck was damaged but the rescue workers weren't injured, officials said.

The driver of the truck reported seeing a man point a handgun at the truck and open fire six or seven times, the report said.

Detectives began investigating and found surveillance footage from license plate readers that showed Shennett riding a bicycle while holding a black firearm in his right hand, the report said.
