2. Indiana State Police:

   He noticed one person was bleeding profusely from the lower arm and he immediately applied a tourniquet to the arm to stop the bleeding, another person was unconscious but breathing.

4. Christopher Willingham:

   Through all of her treatment, and despite the pain she was in, her temperament never changed. - Cpl. Juan Rodriguez There were no human casualties during Lucca’s bomb-sniffing patrols. Her career ended in March 2012 when she lost her leg and suffered chest burns from a bombing in Afghanistan’s Helmand Province. Cpl. Juan Rodriguez, who was her handler at the time, stayed by her side throughout each step of Lucca’s recovery. The explosion was huge and I immediately feared the worst for Lucca, i ran to her and saw her struggling to get up. I picked her up and ran to the shelter of a nearby tree line, applied a tourniquet to her injured leg and called the medics to collect us.

5. David Brown:

   One of the things that she conveyed to me is that she didn’t get an opportunity to apply a tourniquet to one of the wounded men out there, it’s just, you know, extraordinary commitment, extraordinary police work. This city should be proud of its police officers.
