They were heros at Arizona shooting site

TUCSON, Ariz. - They were heroes.

A 20-year-old intern to Rep. Gabrielle Giffords said Sunday that he used his hands to apply pressure to a gunshot wound to her head while holding her in his lap. A 61-year-old Tucson woman grabbed the gun magazine from the shooter, and two men tackled him.

All four are being hailed as heroes. Pima County Sheriff Clarence Dupnik said the woman, Patricia Maisch, likely saved dozens of lives: "We could have had 31 more people shot."

Maisch was waiting in line with her husband to get a photo with Giffords. The two men who tackled the suspect were identified as Roger Sulzgeber, who was also in line, and Joseph Zimudie, who was at a nearby Walgreens. The shooter reached for more ammunition with his left hand as he struggled with the men, Maisch said.

"Somebody said, 'Get the magazine!' so I got the magazine, and I was able to secure that," Maisch said.

The intern - Daniel Hernandez - started working with Gif- fords a week ago. A political science major at the University of Arizona, his job on Saturday was to sign in people and control traffic at Gifford's event. - AP
