Two soldiers acted without hesitation when the sounds of gunfire interrupted their conversation with a potential recruit in a California Mall last Tuesday. Staff Sgt. Isaiah Locklear and Staff Sgt. Michael Marl first secured their recruit to the rear of the office for safety, and went out to provide assistance.<\/p>\n
The mall was under attack by two, what can only be described as terrorists, who were shooting indiscriminately with hand guns. Two teenage boys were severely wounded in the attack.<\/p>\n
Bravo Zulu to SSGTs Locklear and Marl for using their training to keep calm and render aid.<\/p>\n

Two Army recruiters responded to an active shooter at a California mall Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Staff Sgt. Isaiah Locklear and Staff Sgt. Michael Marl heard the gunfire while talking with a future soldier in their offices at Tanforan Mall in San Bruno, California, at around 4 p.m.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s when we heard two or three shots,\u201d Marl told Army Times. \u201cWe kind of looked at each other and were like \u2018is this gunfire?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n
Four or five more shots rang out.<\/p>\n
The two recruiters sent the future soldier they were speaking with to the back of the offices where she could take shelter and then ran out to try and assist with the scene.<\/p>\n
They found the first gunshot victim immediately on the second story of the mall. Locklear began tending to him while Marl searched and found a second victim.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe victim was on the floor, waving his hands, saying that he\u2019s been shot,\u201d Locklear said, adding that a gunshot wound to the stomach was visible. \u201cI took my shirt off and I started applying pressure and checked him to make sure he didn\u2019t have any other wounds.\u201d<\/p>\n
Both victims were teenage boys, police said in a statement.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
