A powerful story told through emergency responders on different sides of the country with experience in mass shootings. A school shooting in a small town in South Carolina impacted a local responder, who created "Jacob's Kit" as an emergency kit with tourniquets for schools in the area. It is his hope that it expands to schools throughout the nation. I also spoke with a trauma surgeon who dealt with the aftermath of Las Vegas and is working to implement a state-wide policy change.
