Save a life Saturday was held at over one hundred locations across the country. Thousands of people attended the free training to learn wound care, treatment of shock and CPR.

     There were people who were at the Safeway locations during the shooting that attended the training. Along with Daniel Hernandez who tended to Congresswoman Giffords after she was shot in the head.

     "For me it was very instinctual once I got to the scene and I saw what had happened that I used the skills that I knew I had to treat her," Hernandez said.

     After the shooting that happened the Red Cross saw a huge increase of people who were interested in getting the training. Even those who had put off the training for years saw how important learning CPR was.

     "Following the shooting on January the eighth our Red Cross Chapters, have seen a real lift a real spike in interest," the Executive Director of the American Red Cross Richard White said.

     1,700 potential heros were trained in Southern Arizona alone on this one save a life Saturday.
