Stop the killing, then stop the dying: Police increase medical role in U.S. mass shootings:
As soon as six police officerskilled the gunman to end an attack that claimed nine lives in Dayton, police began working to save lives.
“Stop the killing — and after the killing has been stopped, that’s when the stop the dying starts,” said Pete Blair, executive director ofWithin minutes in Dayton, the first victims arrived at the Miami Valley Hospital emergency room in police patrol cars. Four shooting victims were hospitalized there, one in critical condition.
“To what extent that helped the outcome, we don’t know, but it’s another testament to how hard we’ve trained in this area and that our law enforcement officers know how to stop bleeding,” Marriott said. The few minutes before ambulances arrive are crucial for someone bleeding from gunshots, said Dr. Dustin Calhoun, a University of Cincinnati Medical Center emergency room physician and medical director for the Cincinnati Fire Department.Whitney Austin, shot 12 times in the Fifth Third Bank building attack in 2018 in downtown Cincinnati, has no doubt that officers’ first aid saved her.
“Quickly applying a tourniquet and stopping the blood flow from my left arm was critical to my survival,” Austin said. Blair expects some 1,000 police, fire and medical professionals to take part in active-shooter training seminars at a conference beginning Sunday in Aurora, Colorado, site of a 2012 movie theater shooting that killed 12 people and wounded 70.
