14: Fire Captain Tim O'Brien Reflects on Fatal Shooting of Martin Ganz, Pt 3 of 3

Tim O’Brien is a firefighter/paramedic and currently serves as a captain with the Manhattan Beach Fire Department in Southern California.

On December 27, 1993, just after 11:00 p.m., Captain O'Brien responded to a rescue at the Manhattan Village Mall. When he and fellow firefighters arrived, they quickly realized the victim was Officer Martin Ganz of the Manhattan Beach Police Department and that he had been shot multiple times.

In this episode, Captain O'Brien opens up and talks about what he and fellow firefighters witnessed when they first arrived on scene and their efforts to save the life of Officer Ganz.

This is the final episode of a three part series. Like parts one and two, this episode is heartbreaking and emotional.
