A New Mexico firefighter has been removed from the city’s dispatch center after telling a 911 caller who was trying to keep alive a gunshot victim to ‘deal with it yourself.’
Jaydon Chavez-Silver, 17, was fatally shot during an Albuquerque house party on June 26.

In the recording, the panicked caller snaps at dispatcher – Albuquerque Fire Dept. Driver Matthew Sanchez – for repeatedly asking whether Jaydon is breathing.

Jaydon only just arrived to the party when someone either walked or drove past the home and opened fire.

The teen was sitting on a kitchen counter at the party when at least one of the estimated six shots firec into the house struck him.

He later died in a hospital.

A spokesman for Jaydon’s family says they’re astonished at the call, but want to focus on finding their son’s killer.
