REGINA - Two paramedics who went into a northern Saskatchewan school while a shooter was on the loose have been recognized for their bravery.
Kalvin Jones and Darryl Morin received medals yesterday from the Royal Canadian Humane Association.
In January, Jones and Morin responded to an emergency call at the La Loche high school and learned a shooter was still in the building.
They helped injured students and staff get out, then aided patients at the hospital.
A teacher and a teacher's aide were killed at the school and seven others were hurt.
Two brothers were shot dead at a nearby home.
A teenage boy, who can't be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder.
Jones says he is getting counselling for acute stress disorder and is upgrading his skills to become a primary care paramedic.
Morin -- a paramedic for 16 years -- has been off work since the shooting.
He says he wants to get past what happened, but knows he will never forget it.
Morin says he hopes to continue as a paramedic because he loves the job.
