After two San Antonio police officers were shot and wounded Thursday night during a domestic incident, a neighbor and his wife helped one of the injured officers by applying a tourniquet.

Joshua Rael told KSAT while on his front porch, keeping an eye out, he spotted an injured officer.

“An officer just ran around the corner and said, ‘I need help.’ You know, immediately told me, reach for this tourniquet, and help me put this on,”

Rael applied a tourniquet above the officer’s wound. He said he received emergency response training from his employer, but the real-life event tested his skills.

“He told me what to do, and I’m glad he did it. We worked together very well and remained calm, and it was rough, but, you know, I think everybody did a good job,” said Rael.

The intense moments were all lived out on Rael’s kitchen floor. He said his wife also played a critical role.

“She was there to give them water. She was there to help stop the bleeding, help me with the tourniquet. I have an injured foot, so it was not easy for me,” said Rael.

SAPD reported Friday that both officers injured in the shooting were in stable condition and recovering.
