Police Win Gunfight, Turn Suspect Into Human Faucet.

North Las Vegas, NV – Two Metropolitan Police Department officers won a gunfight with a suspect, and then saved his life with a tourniquet just moments later. It was all captured on video (video below.)

The incident occurred around 5 PM Monday when Field Training Officer Tyler Hebb and his trainee, Officer Brandon Foster, were doing an investigative follow-up to a bicyclist who was shot by somebody in a stolen Honda, according to Las Vegas Review Journal.

The two officers spotted the stolen Honda being driven by William Chafoya, who matched the description of the shooting suspect. When the officers tried to stop the vehicle, it sped off and they pursued it into North Las Vegas.

The two occupants of the vehicle suddenly stopped the car and took off running.

While running, Chafoya pulled a gun from his waistband, fired once in the air, and then turned and opened fire on the officers.

The officers responded by dumping 19 rounds into the suspect in about 8 seconds.

The shots appeared to have opened up an artery in the Chafoya’s leg, and he was pouring blood like an open faucet.

It was apparent that the Chafoya wasn’t long for this world. At least, that was until Officer Hebb grabbed a tourniquet from his ankle and applied it to Chafoya’s leg. He is now expected to survive.

The female passenger from the vehicle was struck once in the arm in the crossfire. Both suspects have been hospitalized at University Medical Center in stable condition. Neither officer was hurt.

Holly shit thats a lot of blood.

Ha! Tourniquet around the ankle like a boss. I love it.

Good video. It shows how quickly things can go from fighting for your life to fighting to save a life. Tourniquet application could have gone a little faster. Add direct pressure to the wound during tourniquet application if possible.

Knee down then TQ. @medic981 can you tell why he took it off on the first try? Couldn’t get the velcro to stick or just bad positioning? 

[medic981]

I’m not entirely sure. It looks like a CAT tourniquet, onr with two slots. You are suppose to route the strap through both slots in the buckle for use on a leg. Perhaps he accidentally routed it through the wrong slot and then remembered. Practice, practice, practice.

Great tq use.

There are three rules.

1. If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it. 

2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no. 

3. If you do not step forward, you will remain in the same place.

Shout out to Allentown (PA) EMT’s who witnessed a stabbing and stopped it. Took guts to get in there and stop that crime. Hopefully the victim survives.
