By: Kyle Rempfer<\/strong><\/p>\n Staff Sgt. Isaiah Locklear and Staff Sgt. Michael Marl, both assigned to the Central California Recruiting Battalion, told Army Times in an interview describing the event that they began hearing gunfire while talking with a recruit in their offices at Tanforan Mall in San Bruno, California, at about 4 p.m.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s when we heard two or three shots,\u201d Marl said in July. \u201cWe kind of looked at each other and were like \u2018is this gunfire?\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n After a few more gunshots were heard, the two soldiers instructed their recruit to take shelter in their back office. Then both men ran out to assist two victims who they found bleeding from gunshot wounds to the abdomen and thigh.<\/p>\n Locklear began providing aid to the first victim they found.<\/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 A second victim was identified by Marl, who began tending to the boy\u2019s gunshot wound on the thigh.<\/p>\n \u201cI just applied pressure, kept the kid calm and made sure the friend he had there with him didn\u2019t go running around until the cops showed up,\u201d said Marl, who has been in the Army for more than 12 years. \u201cThankfully, one of the first cops that came up actually had a tourniquet.”<\/p>\n \u201cSo we applied the tourniquet and just made sure it was tight and stayed with the kid until the actual paramedics showed up,\u201d Marl added.<\/p>\n In total, four people were injured in the shooting, according to local media. The victims were ultimately transported to Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Bravo Zulu, gentlemen! Well done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
