This week, an active shooter situation went down at Dallas Love Field. No one was injured except the shooter. But as law enforcement and local schools prepare for scenarios like these there are preparations an average person can take in the case of a trauma situation - be it a car accident or some kind of attack.
At Parkland Hospital, they know every minute counts when someone is severely injured.
A person who is severely bleeding can bleed to death in as little as 5 minutes. That’s why bleeding control is imperative to know and you can learn how to do so with STOP THE BLEED training.
