(KMOV) -- The violent moments when an EMT was shot while driving a patient to the hospital were caught on tape.

Illinois State Police want to know if you can identify the first red vehicle.

Investigators are particularly interested in the drivers in a second car seen on the video, which may have witnessed that shooting.

The Metro-East EMT worker is in fair condition.

He was shot on I-64 near 25th Street in Washington Park while transporting a shooting victim to the hospital.

Police say the EMT was hit in the chest and left arm but managed to call the shooting into dispatch himself.

No arrests have been made in any of the shootings.

If you recognize the gunman, call Illinois State Police.
