First responders won't go to one section of Detroit, termed a "delta zone", because of those kinds of incidents. Gangs would lure them in by setting a fire or making false 911 calls. They would also fire at ambulance personnel who were trying to provide medical treatment to rival gang members. This was true in the late 90s. I don't know if this is still true, but I would suspect it is.
Very sad story and my heart aches for the families of those killed as well as the people who have been evacuated/lost their homes.
