Some teachers training to use tourniquets, not guns

While political and media attention focuses on training teachers to use guns to protect students, other teachers are undergoing a different kind of training with the same purpose. Dater High School teacher Chris Bangi turned student on a recent weekend morning, proving that concealed carry classes aren't the only way local teachers are preparing for the worst-case scenario. Call it training with tourniquets. Bangi would rather not see another mass shooting at a high school, but he wants to be prepared to treat injured students if there is one. “Seeing that, it's terrible. You never want that to happen,” Bangi said. “For me as a teacher, I would rather be overprepared than underprepared. Premier Shooting and Training started offering Critical Casualty Care 1 at a discount to teachers after the Florida school shooting that left 17 students and teachers dead. teachers with tourniquets,critical care classes,Dater High School,Cincinnati,WCPO,Julie O'Neill
