• RNC officer describes emotional conversation with Trevor Pardy after shooting

Her ex-boyfriend, Trevor Pardy, 38, is on trial for first-degree murder and on Thursday, a Supreme Court of Newfoundland jury heard from paramedics who were called to the scene.

Ryan Kelly, an advanced care paramedic with Eastern Health, testified the call came inat 1:10 a.m. but when he got to Boggy Hall Place, he was told by policeto wait about 250 metres away because it wasn't safe.

Earlier witnesses have testified that Pardy was still in the cul-de-sac and wouldn't put hisgun down.

Paramedics waited 20 minutes to attend toWadman. She was on her back, Kelly said, her airway full of vomit and blood, and she had a weak pulse.

Another paramedic, Darren Taylor, testified that emergency responders cut some of Wadman's clothes off, and when they moved her, they "lost her."

Taylor said the ambulance ride to hospital was "a load and go situation," meaning Wadman was not likely to survive.

Sarah Mathieson, an emergency room doctor, was on duty when the ambulance arrived at the Health Sciences Centre at 1:43 a.m.

Mathieson said Wadman had a wound in her left chest, traumatic bleeding, and no vital signs.

She said a resident did internal CPR, but Wadmanwas pronounced dead at 2:10 a.m.
