EMTs made frantic bid to save NYPD cops after shooting

The first paramedics who arrived after two cops were ambushed in Brooklyn said Sunday they desperately tried to revive the mortally wounded officers.

“I had to save (them),” said EMT Tatania Alexander, a chief with the Bedford-Stuyvesant Volunteer Ambulance Corp., told the Daily News.

Alexander and her EMT partner Christopher Womble returned to the scene of Saturday’s bloodbath at Tompkins and Myrtle Aves. to recount the steps they took to try to save Officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu.

Alexander, 23, said she was at her base station on Marcus Garvey Blvd. in Bedford-Stuyvesant when Womble came rushing in with news of the double police shooting.

When they reached the scene, both wounded cops were still in their patrol car.

Alexander first went to Liu, 32, on the passenger side.
