Massachusetts school nurses receive mass shooting trauma training

School nurses in Massachusetts received a trauma training they hope to never use.

Combat medics showed nurses how to treat multiple gunshot victims in a mass shooting situation.

They learned how to properly pack wounds, open airways and apply tourniquets.

The nurses say the "stop the bleeding" course should be universal.

The instructors say after a mass shooting, it is the nearby bystanders who can help in those vital first few moments.
