    I'm from Miami FL, so most of my family resides there. Monday night my cousin was out on his porch smoking a a cig and a car stopped in front of his house and a single white male got out and approached him and demanded money and entry to his dwelling. He fought back and was shot by the perp 3 times in the chest with a semi auto .22lr. The perp fled. My brother in law rents an apartment that is built on to the house so as soon as he heard the shots he came out side to find my cousin in a pool of blood. Thank god I gave him a full medical kit and trained him on how to in his use it. One bullet hit an artrey in his heart the others were not fatal. I pray he makes it. But I hope this will serve as a reminder to always be aware and prepared, training may save your life or somebody elses.

    A fine example of why it pays to be prepared.

    Best to your cousin, and I hope for a full and speedy recovery.

    One prayer for your cousin.
    A second one for the law to catch up with the perp and lower the boom as hard as possible.

    Good vibes sent you and your cousins way.
    Goes to show. You never know where and when it can happen.
    This world is getting crazier by the minute. Makes me feel terrified for my children.

    Wow, that's truly tragic!

    What kind of materials did you provide in the full medical kit?

    What kind of training do you have that enabled you to train others in how to address gun shot wounds?

    This information could be helpful to others here on INGO, should the need ever arise (god forbid).
