Nothing could be done to save Nona McEwan91裸聊视频檚 life, an ER physician at Royal Columbian Hospital testified Monday.

91裸聊视频淣o, unfortunately,91裸聊视频� Dr. Pearlly Ng replied, asked if her condition was survivable.

Ng was called as a witness at a coroner91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淒uring the transportation she unfortunately lost her vital signs,91裸聊视频� 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 91裸聊视频渕assive transfusion protocol, anticipating that I would receive a patient who had sustained a large amount of blood loss.91裸聊视频�

When McEwan arrived, they were unable to regain a pulse, and her time of death was declared at 8:18 a.m. She91裸聊视频檇 lost consciousness at 7:33 a.m. She was shot at 7:25 a.m., the inquest heard.

91裸聊视频淚 think they did everything they could on scene,91裸聊视频� Ng said, 91裸聊视频渂ased on the information I was provided.91裸聊视频�

Royal Columbian, at 330 East Columbia St. in New Westminster, is a Level 1 trauma centre, Ng noted. 91裸聊视频淪o we regularly see people that have sustained gunshot wounds.91裸聊视频�

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

Coroner Margaret Janzen is presiding over the inquest in Burnaby, at Coroners91裸聊视频� Court. It91裸聊视频檚 expected to run for two weeks, with a jury of four women and a man hearing testimony.

A Surrey-based police watchdog 91裸聊视频� the Independent Investigations Office 91裸聊视频� 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 91裸聊视频渨hat appeared to be91裸聊视频� a gun in his hand. Forensic police later found a 91裸聊视频渞ealistic-looking91裸聊视频� 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 91裸聊视频渂reacher91裸聊视频� with the Emergency Response Team since 2011, also testified on Monday. He said he91裸聊视频檇 been deployed 500 91裸聊视频渙r so91裸聊视频� times 91裸聊视频� about 50 per year 91裸聊视频� 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, 91裸聊视频渨as extreme.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 about as high as I think I could go in my risk assessment in my career so far.91裸聊视频�

Johnston said he fired four rounds at the centre of Crosson91裸聊视频檚 abdomen.

91裸聊视频淭here91裸聊视频檚 a initial volley of gunfire that I hear,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 not sure if he91裸聊视频檚 firing back at us, perhaps firing a number of rounds at us, I91裸聊视频檓 not sure if some or our guys are down at this point, but there91裸聊视频檚 this initial volley.91裸聊视频�

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

91裸聊视频淚 see Miss McEwan, who is there, and this is all in close proximity, but then I say something to the effect of let91裸聊视频檚 get her out. Like let91裸聊视频檚 get her out.91裸聊视频�

She had 91裸聊视频渒ind of a startled look on her face,91裸聊视频� Johnston said. 91裸聊视频淟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,91裸聊视频� where the medical assessment began.91裸聊视频�

Johnston was questioned about sympathetic fire, also known as 91裸聊视频渃ontagion91裸聊视频� fire, where under high stress police start shooting because other police are.

Asked if that91裸聊视频檚 what happened here, Johnston replied no. 91裸聊视频淚 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 that91裸聊视频檚 how I essentially formed my opinion and made the decision to engage with him at that point in time.91裸聊视频�

The inquest continues.
