I actually came up with a similar idea on this last year. I think that this is a brilliant initiative and should be seriously considered nation wide.
A new federal initiative seeks to prevent deaths in terror attacks and school shootings by training ordinary people from custodians to administrators on how to treat gunshots, gashes and other injuries.
The idea is to offer some kind of assistance during the fateful minutes or hours when the wounded are hunkered down waiting for the violence to play out and for actual EMTs to get to the scene.
Stony Brook University began a series of training sessions this week with school officials using dummy body parts. It hopes to take the program nationwide.
