Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and victims of the recent tragic shootings at a country music festival in Las Vegas.
Updates are available at all news outlets. Tales of ordinary people acting in heroic ways are beginning to emerge. Business Insider profiles some of them, and they warm the heart. They include a woman with paramedic experience named Dawn-Marie Gray, who tended to the injured and dying:
Dawn-Marie, who worked as a paramedic for about seven years, knew that local paramedics would not be admitted entry until the area was deemed safe. She and her husband turned to the wounded, providing CPR, making tourniquets, and checking for pulses on lifeless bodies.
The couple worked together to load victims into cars en route to the hospital.
“It had nothing to do with being a hero,” Dawn-Marie said. “That’s being a human being.”
