An Arizona DPS trooper is being praised for his response during the Las Vegas massacre.
On Thursday, he spoke out at a news briefing about his actions on that night. And as for his life-saving efforts? He was just doing his job.
On the evening of October 1, 2017, Sgt. Alan Haywood, a 17-year AZ DPS veteran, was in Las Vegas for an Honor Guard Detail.
While en route to the shooting site, Sgt. Haywood came across a pickup truck in the emergency lane of northbound I-15, where he found four people, two of them injured in the bed of the pickup.
He was able to flag down a NHP trooper and an ambulance. The paramedics were able to conduct triage on the patients.
DPS says Sgt. Haywood, with the help of a NHP trooper, was able to escort the pickup truck of victims to Spring Valley Medical Center. Upon arrival, Sgt. Haywood helped medical staff off-load the victims and provided identifying information to local authorities, AZ Family reports.
