All,
Memorial services for Kansas City Firefighter-Paramedic Graham Hoffman, who was stabbed and murdered while working an overtime shift Sunday, will take place Friday. Services will be held at Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, 1600 State Route 291, in Liberty. A public visitation will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and a funeral service will take place from 1-2:30 p.m. A memorial procession will leave the church at 3 p.m.
UPDATE:
Shanetta Bossell, walking in the area of State Highway 152 and was bleeding from a cut on the hand, and reluctantly agreed to be taken to a hospital. During that trip, Bossell stabbed Hoffman in the heart. She then jumped into the driver’s seat of the ambulance and attempted to put the vehicle in gear as the other paramedic was treating Hoffman. She also bit a police officer during a struggle as he tried to take her into custody. More officers arrived, and they arrested her.
“SHE WAS A DANGER TO THE PUBLIC”..BUT YET:
Bossell has been charged with first-degree murder, armed criminal action, third-degree assault of a law enforcement officer and resisting arrest in Clay County. Last week, in another case, Bossell was charged with biting an off-duty police officer and deemed “a danger to the public.” She bonded out of jail on Friday, less than two days before she murdered FF-PM Hoffman.
