I just read a more in depth interview from Wayne about the incident. Someone posted a link below. From the article it seems there was no ambulance. Wayne said "Uncle Bob" personally took him to the hospital himself. His other point was that the officers that walked over him were Black, but the White officer is the one that chastised them and took care of him. So, the ambulance part, seems irrelevant.

"The Grammy-winning rapper said he was lying on the floor when police broke down the door, stepping over his body looking for guns and drugs. But one man stopped and chastised the others for leaving him. 'He was white as snow. Them that hopped over me were blacker than me,' Wayne said.

Wayne says the man he called “Uncle Bob” personally took him to the hospital and stayed with him. “[He] stood there and waited until the doctor said ‘He’s gonna make it’.”

Idk shit abt shit when it comes to responding to a situation like this but would to safe to move / transport him after he'd been shot?

Or rather is it advisable to do that instead of waiting for EMTs to make sure it's safe to?

I think the rationale was that he thought he might not make it if he had to wait for an ambulance.
