00:00We got time maybe for one more question.
00:03Yeah.
00:04Jill Kovac from the Atlanta General Constitution.
00:07General, could you speak at all, just to give some insight at all on the acts of bravery
00:12that you've heard about in this episode?
00:15Yeah, sure.
00:16I think, as the Secretary mentioned, we have six historical soldiers behind us,
00:21but this is just representative of the larger formation.
00:24Once the shooter was identified and the threat was identified to that soldier,
00:29then immediately raced and tackled that soldier, wrestled the gun away,
00:33so doing a second non-commissioned officer on top of the program was sharing him
00:38until the police could arrive, and then simultaneously no one hesitated.
00:42Most of these soldiers behind me and others of the crowd immediately started applying
00:46court stating and most importantly stopped the bleeding.
00:48When we spoke to the surgeons in the hospital, it was clear that the actions they took
00:52primarily stopped in that meeting before they were loaded up in a handy one
00:56because it quickly evacs when our medical certainly saved their lives.
01:00Are they back to work today?
01:02I'm sorry.
01:02Are they back to work or are they taking some time off?
01:05Well, today is a day that we focused on bringing the brigade and the union together
01:10so they can support one another so we can, of course, get right back at it,
01:13but it's also a day where we're going to focus on ensuring that we're giving the support to them.
