Firefighter, 29, dies after being ‘stabbed in heart in back of ambulance by patient who was out on bail for biting cop’

A FIREFIGHTER responding to a routine 911 medical call has died after he was allegedly stabbed in the heart by a woman he was treating.

When a 38-year-old woman named Shanetta Bossell was spotted walking along a busy highway in Kansas City, Kansas, at approximately 12:30 am on Sunday, Kansas City police officers were called in to help.

But upon arrival, police requested help from emergency medical service personnel to treat Bossell.

The woman was loaded into an ambulance and was transported to Saint Luke’s Hospital.

Unfortunately, while on the way to the hospital at about 1:23 am, Bossell reportedly pulled out a knife and stabbed 29-year-old paramedic and firefighter Graham Hoffman in the chest.

Kansas City police officers and additional firefighters were able to subdue Bossell and take her into custody.

Hoffman was taken to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.

The Kansas City Fire Department said that the knife pierced Hoffman’s heart.

Bossell was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, resisting/interfering with arrest for a felony and third-degree assault.

She is being held on $1 million bond.

Hoffman, who joined the Kansas City Fire Department in 2022, was remembered as an “impactful and exceptional” individual.

Mayor Quinton Lucas expressed his sorrow, highlighting that Hoffman, at 29, had a promising future ahead of him. He emphasized the importance of Hoffman’s service to the community and the impact his work had on everyone.

“There will be many steps ahead as we evaluate what happened, as we review what occurred, as we address whatever needs to happen in the future.

“But today I’m focused on grieving for his mother, his father, his sibling, his family and everyone in the KCFD family.”

SUSPECT OUT ON BAIL

The horrific incident came days after Bossell was arrested on a separate case for allegedly biting a Platte City police officer on April 23, according to court records seen by The U.S. Sun.

The Kansas City Police Department responded to a similar call for a need for assistance on April 23 at around 6:45 am.

However, when officers arrived they found a Platte City police officer arresting Bossell after she allegedly bit him several times.

Bossell was confronted by a Platte City police officer after she was allegedly seen pulling on vehicle door handles outside the cop’s home.

When the police officer confronted Bossell and instructed her to put her hands up, the suspect ignored him, according to court documents.

When the Platte City cop attempted to detain Bossell, she resisted, grabbed his handcuffs, and as the officer reached for his radio to call for back up she allegedly bit his left forearm.

Court records showed Bossell was charged with second degree assault and resisting arrest.

However, she was released sometime before Saturday after posting $10,000 bond.

Hoffman was working overtime when he was stabbed, Kansas City Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins told ABC affiliate KMBC-TV.

“He was a young firefighter-paramedic. Speaking with a lot of his classmates and folks that work with him today, he was very vibrant,” Hopkins said.

“Loved to travel, and he loved serving his community.”
