Exactly! (though I think you mean Virginia Tech, not VMI).
As always, the people on the scene when it happens are the real first responders. They may not be EMTs or trauma surgeons, but they can do things that will help keep the injured alive until help arrives. This is particularly important in active shooter type situations where medical help isn't going to be available until police secure the scene. When seconds count, help is minutes away (if not longer).
