A quick-thinking NYPD officer rescued a 4-year-old girl who was shot in the Times Square shooting on Saturday.
A quick-thinking NYPD officer responding to the shooting in Times Square wrapped a tourniquet around the tiny leg of a 4-year-old girl who was shot to stop her bleeding before instinctively sprinting through the area to a waiting ambulance. "This little girl is the strongest person I have ever seen," Officer Alyssa Vogel told "Good Morning America." on Monday. Arriving to the chaotic scene Saturday afternoon, Vogel pulled the tourniquet off her gun belt and "applied it to her leg, above the wound ... we tightened it on her." "After that, Officer Sparta and I started searching her for other gunshot wounds, to make sure that was the only one," Vogel said. "When it was determined that was the only one, I had an instinct to pick her up and run her to the ambulance down that block, and that's when I sprinted with her."More Related News
