** Friends and colleagues of an Indianapolis paramedic pair, killed one year ago in an ambulance crash, gathered Sunday to mark the one year anniversary. Fox59 (Liz Gelardi/February 17) said some 100 people congregated at the intersection where the accident occurred to conduct a vigil to remember Timothy McCormick, 24, and Cody Medley, 22. Indianapolis EMS Chief Dr. Charles Miramonti said both men were decent people who cared about others. By way of remembrance, the men’s service has established a scholarship fund. The person who hit the ambulance that night, meanwhile, was never charged due to lack of evidence.
