For the first time the two West Webster firefighters wounded in an attack on Christmas Eve are sharing their stories.
Ted Scardino and Joseph Hofstetter are holding (held) a news conference about the ambush that injured them both and killed two other firefighters.
According to 13WHAM’s Patrice Walsh, who is at the press conference, Scardino started by thanking the community for the outpouring of support.
He said, “I can’t tell you how many times I walk in Wegmans and people thank me.”
When asked about that day, Scardino said “I heard pop, pop, pop. Chip said we’re being shot at.”
Hofstetter added, “I didn’t know what was happening until I was shot. You don’t expect people to fire at you. I was focused on not wanting any more people hurt and self- preservation.”
