An University of Arizona student intern working for Gabrielle Giffords put his life in jeopardy and stepped forward helping not only Giffords but yelling instructions to other attendees at the event who were attending to the other wounded after the shooting. He stayed with Giffords until paramedics arrived Here. “20-year-old Daniel Hernandez was helping out at the Congress on Your Corner event and was standing just feet away from Giffords when shots rang out.
“When I heard gunshots, my first instinct was to head towards the congresswoman to make sure that she was OK,” Hernandez told ABC News this morning.
Hernandez, who says he has some emergency medical knowledge and training in triage, immediately started covering and applying pressure to the congresswoman’s wounds Here.”
Thanks to Daniel Hernandez, Giffords and likely other wounded victims at the event are still alive today.
