[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2340706, member: 1242"] I've often wondered about if bleeding out has been the cause of at least some fatalities at active shooting scenes because medical personnel don't go in until law enforcement says the scene is secure. I know of at least one accidental shooting where medical personnel here in OKC would not go into a building and render aid because they were under the impression in was an "active" scene. They beat law enforcement to the scene of the shooting but would not enter the building until law enforcement arrived and deemed the site "safe". Thank God there were: 1. People inside the building capable and willing to render aid to the victim; and 2. the woman's wound was not immediately life-threatening ... It made me take a long, hard look at myself and whether I could run away from a scene, leaving someone I knew was hurt. Having to hunt down victims is one thing -- I'm a civilian and not trained for that. But running by someone screaming for help, or trying but unable to get away under their own power ... Man, I just don't think I could leave them there. I've been called suicidial by some folks because of that ... I don't really think that's it because I sure don't want to get shot ... or to die ... but ... damn ... How many people just ran past that dude while he was still alive?? [/QUOTE]
