About

Loring Nudd testified for the Commonwealth on Day 3 about his emergency response to 47 Summer Street on January 24, 2023. A retired Duxbury firefighter/EMT, he told prosecutor Shanan Buckingham that the initial report concerned a second-floor fall and that he did not know children were involved when dispatched.

Nudd described receiving a child from an officer after positioning the ambulance. He observed a blue face, neck marks, and a pale body, and began CPR. The child was not breathing independently. During his initial assessment, Nudd had not secured an airway or determined circulation or cardiac activity. He described assistance from paramedic Keith Nette; the judge allowed a question about Nudd's assistance to the paramedic over a defense objection.

Nudd also testified that he carried a monitor to the basement and later drove the ambulance to the Plymouth hospital. He reported limited observations of the children downstairs, estimated the response time, and acknowledged that he assumed someone had heard his request for a medic. No cross-examination followed.
