I’m not familiar with the case you mention, but here in Europe first responders are taught following rule:
*Always protect yourself, never put yourself at risk.*

Simply said, if you die, you won’t help anybody… That goes for paramedics and firefighters, not sure if cops also see this rule as rule #1, but as I said, being a casualty yourself, won’t help victims
