Can medics be shot?

At one time medics were considered non-combatants and were not supposed to be shot. In World War 2 this standard seems to have changed on the Russian Front and in the Pacific. I am told that after the war US medics began carrying pistols, and today they carry assault rifles. It may be one of those gray areas like jaywalking. Medics are not supposed to be shot in war, but everybody does it anyway.
