THE INTERN WHO HELPED REP. GIFFORD

From AXCentral.com comes the account by Daniel Hernandez, an intern for Gabrielle Giffords. Daniel was near Rep. Giffords when she was shot and gave her first aid until the paramedics arrived.
Daniel Hernandez had been U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords' intern for five days when she was shot Saturday outside Tucson.

The junior at the University of Arizona was helping check people in at the "Congress on Your Corner" event when he heard gunfire. He was about 30 feet from the congresswoman. When the shots began, he ran toward them.

Read his moving account of helping Giffords and of the scene of the shooting.
