The Chicago Fire Department (CFD) has implemented new protocol after its paramedics left a teen gunshot wound victim “for dead” on the street for an hour last year.

An investigation, which is still underway, was launched by the department after Erin Carey, 17, was left unattended for an extensive period of time, with a severe gunshot wound to the head on June 18 last year, reported the Chicago Sun Times.
