Police detectives, after interviewing the FF’s and medics at the stations determined that Shaune Kelly Zenzel, 38, was their prime suspect and arrested him at his home at 2 pm Friday.

Zenzel readily admitted that he committed the crime and says that his addiction to pain killers led him to it. He has been a volunteer EMT for about 8 months.
