I wonder if they called 911 and got put on hold and decided taking someone by car was faster.
This happens pretty frequently.

Someone arrived at the ER shot, that is where the call for service was initiated - could have happened somewhere else in the city or even in the counties.

That's the Gateway Building entrance. Possibly someone was shot somewhere else and they were brought there in a private car instead of the Emergency Department entrance, it's happened before. If someone was shot there, I would have heard it...
