I remember reading about the story back in Dec, it was sicken.

An EMT who was accused of ignoring a dying, pregnant woman during his coffee break last year was shot and killed yesterday in a dispute near a SoHo nightclub, police said.
Jason Green, 32, and a male friend were trying to get into Greenhouse, a popular nightclub on Varick Street, at about 5 a.m. when bouncers turned them away because the pal was wearing shorts, officials said.
Minutes later, about a block from the club, Green and his friend got into a dispute with a man who had stepped out of a car at Vandam and Hudson streets and opened fire on them, police said.
The man got off at least two shots, striking Green twice in the torso.
He died at New York Downtown Hospital.
Green's friend was not injured and was being interviewed by cops.
Investigators were looking into whether the argument was over a parking spot, a source said.
Green, of Jackson Heights, Queens, had been a target of a criminal probe by the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office because he and his girlfriend, Melisa Jackson, 23, also an EMT, allegedly refused to help pregnant Au Bon Pain worker Eutisha Rennix, 25, after she suffered a seizure during their break at the coffee shop.
Rennix's mother, Cynthia offered words of support for Green's relatives yesterday.
"As a mother who has been through this kind of loss, I have to feel for his family," she said. "Even though what he did to my daughter was an injustice, I am sorry for him and, especially, for his mother."
Eutisha's sister, Marva, added, "We thought what he did [to Eutisha] was inhuman. But he didn't deserve [to be shot].
"You have to live your life right, because when you do wrong things, life has a way of bringing bad things back to you."
Eutisha's twin brother, Eudane, was scheduled to ship overseas with the military last night after getting a tattoo of his tragic sister on his arm.
The criminal investigation into Green's and Jackson's actions was launched after they allegedly ignored the pleas of Rennix's co-workers to help her when she suffered a seizure on Dec. 9 at the Au Bon Pain in 1 Metrotech Center in Downtown Brooklyn.
The center is the site of the Fire Department's headquarters, where the two EMTs worked together as dispatchers.
Rennix, who left a 3-year-old son, died at Long Island College Hospital. She was six months pregnant, and her unborn baby was delivered at the hospital but died two hours later.
Witnesses said Jackson called another dispatcher to report the incident, but they noted that she and Green did nothing to help Rennix.
Green and Jackson were suspended for a month without pay after Rennix died. They were reinstated, but the probe is pending.
Residents who live near Greenhouse said the club is a magnet for noise and violence.
"I hate to say it, but we've been waiting for something like this to happen," said Silvia Beam, president of the Vandam Street Block Association.
"I've had numerous complaints filed with 311, and they never got back to us. It starts usually at 11 or 12 at night, and they don't leave until 1 in the afternoon the next day."
Another resident agreed, saying, "There are problems at this place all the time. Half the time, I don't know whether to call 311 or 911."

I had some girl come into the busser station the other day trying to make out with every staff member and then pull down her pants and asked for someone to stick a dick in her (at least she shaved).
