SINCE TRUMP CONFIRMED THE NATIONAL GUARD WILL SH00T HERE IS A QUICK THREAD ON HOW TO TREAT A BULLET WOUND!!! PLEASE SHARE!!!!
MAKE SURE THE VICTIM IS IN A SAFE AREA. IF THEY ARE NOT, MOVE THEM TO AN AREA THAT IS FAR AWAY FROM THE CHAOS.
FOR THE LEG AND ARM AREA:
1. if you do not have access to a tourniquet, use a scarf and tie it above the bullet wound. this will cut off blood flow to prevent oxygen from entering the blood stream.

2. using your two thumbs (dont worry abt infection), press gently at first to make sure there isnt anything sharp that may cut you. if you dont feel anything, push your thumbs directly into the wound AND DO NOT REMOVE THEM UNTIL THERE IS A PARAMEDIC OR THEY ARE AT THE HOSPITAL.
REMEMBER: PUSH AS HARD AS YOU CAN. it will hurt but a few minutes of pain is better than losing your life.
IF YOU HAVE A GAUZE OR ANY CLOTH ON HAND, USE IT TO PLUG THE WOUND USING THE SAME STRATEGY AND DO NOT LET GO.

FOR THE HEAD OR ABDOMINAL AREA:
DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE. USE NON-BREATHABLE MATERIAL TO COVER THE WOUND. PLASTIC IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. applying pressure will shift their intestines and cause internal bleeding.

REMEMBER: talk to the victim and assure them that everything will be fine. if you do not have access to an ambulance, find someone that can take them to a hospital (preferably one with a trauma center)
I FORGOT TO ADD THIS BUT CHECK FOR AN EXIT WOUND!!!!! MAKE SURE IT IS COVERED.
