According to the initial news article the stop was made at about 6 p.m. and then in a later article we get the following timeline for the medical response:

According to county 911 dispatch records, the Fire Department was called to respond to the shooting at 6:12 p.m., and the first units arrived by 6:15 p.m. Paramedics arrived two minutes later.

By 6:22 p.m., paramedics had finished their assessment and called for a helicopter to transport Schultz to the shock trauma center.

The paramedics were en route to the trauma unit by 6:53, according to the records.

I kinda of doubt the accuracy of the claim of a 40 to 60 minute delay in getting first medical attention.

Thanks, Database. If the timeline is correct I can see how it might be misconstrued if one saw the time of the stop and the time of the paramedics being listed as being enroute to the hospital with the victim. 6:00pm for the stop and 6:53 for the paramedic's status of being enroute to the trauma unit could have been misunderstood as being the time when the paramedics were enroute to the scene of the shooting.

Sometimes we skim an article instead of reading it carefully and get things mixed up somewhat.
