bleed coalition that began ayes these issues. there mais a mobilization aroun emergency departments, mobilize health care workers and nurses creating special triage processes to handle the capacity and that as i mentioned the stop the bleed campaign which is also which really was formed, i should say, to educate bystanders. in terms of how to deal with hemorrhage, which happens to be the most common cause of preventable death in trauma. really quickly, the emotional toll that this takes on victims and even us, people who were just watching. right. this horror. that s the thing, i think it s quite obvious that the people most dreeirectly affectet the scene or wounded, themselves, are at the greatest risk for post-traumatic stress. certainly the media covering the traumas as well people watching. the general public, absolutely, as well as people who have a near miss, they were
nine victims in total. they varied many age. the youngest being 22 years old. the oldest being 57 years old. there were white women. black women. a variety of ethnicities. but they didn t disclose exactly you know how this all occurred. that s a big question. the timeline of all this. and the motive behind all this. what was interesting as i mentioneded, megan, 22 years old, was link ed to the suspect as being the sister and at 4:00, we expect to get more information pobly about that connection as well as the suspect. they did also release the name of the victims. you saw them there on the screen. we need to remember those folks indeed. now to southwest texas and my colleague david live for us in el paso to pick up the coverage of the massacre there. david, what a scene. yeah, it is quite a scene and people reckoning what happened yesterday and in ohio where kathy park is as well. new information today from local
questions during this day. it s meant a lot to me personally. i know it s meant a lot to the citizens of dayton. with that, i d like to invite senator sherrod brown to come forward and say a few words. thank you, mayor. this is obviously a terribly difficult time for this community and i so appreciate especially the police and fire and the rescue operations, how quickly the police department, police officers, on the scene, so courageously stood up and did the right thing and saved literally potentially hundreds of lives with the amount of ammunition the shooter had and how quickly they responded and how what a short period of time from the first shot to the last shot, so it really does tell me a lot about local public servants, police and fire, rescue operations. we had the mayor tell us, i
lengthy online document that is linked to him that s described as anti-immigration, it is anti-government. now, investigators are looking at this as a possible hate crime as domestic terrorism. and then you have dayton, ohio, a gunman opening fire in a popular downtown area. at least fine people were killed. 27 more injured. the suspect there in this was shot and killed by police. authorities still trying to find a motive for that killing. and we are also awaiting a live press conference from dayton officials that could come at any moment. of course, will have it for you. let s start here in el paso, texas, and bring in msnbc s david gura. david, we have been through this before. this is new to the people of el paso. the devastation. the questions. the brutality. the utter brutality. listening to the people who went into the scene having difficulty describing the horror of it. bring us up to date. where are we now?
well. yeah and phillip mentioned those three mexican nationals who were killed. also others who are injured and in the hospital at this point. our thanks to david there in el paso. now to dayton where we are learning more details about the quick response that took place there. following the attack. kathy park joins us from dayton and i know the authorities held a press conference there. just a couple of hours ago, but i can see the scene is still pretty much sealed off at this hour. yeah, i do want to kind of bring you up to spoeed about th landscape that s changed a little since we last spoke. behind me is the oregon district and this is the entertainment district. 5th street and a lot of has been cleaned up and we are told that eventually, this roadway will be opened up to the public. only for foot traffic, but that is significant. as you know, a lot of time has passeded. we have a lot o questions, but
