On April 11th, a man entered the Covina Home Depot and began cutting both of his arms off. It scared and scarred many people who were present. A off duty paramedic by the name of Art Hurtado was there as well. As soon as the Paramedic saw him he had limited supplies to help the man bleeding on the ground. First he thought it was a crime scene with foul play, but he saw movement, and he had to formulate a plan to help save the 50 year old man. As soon as paramedics with the ambulance came with the right equipment to help, Hurtado backed off to let the men do their job. If it wasn't for Hurtado in that moment of time to help the man, he would have died. They don't know what provoked the man to do what he did, but suspect drug use or mental complications.
