I did hear about him. He used an electrical cord as a tourniquet didn't he?

I heard that in one report and electrical tape in another. Regardless, this is a shining start in this story. Story of survival - like this show on cable (something like) I should not have lived. This is a true miracle that of all the people to get shot in the femeral (Sp?) artery, it was an eagle scout who knew how to save his own life. I don't mean to be snarky when I say this but I can smell a book deal on this one.
