HOUSTON \u2013 A Houston firefighter and his wife, an emergency room doctor, are being praised after they helped injured victims during a shooting at the Teotihuacan pyramids in Mexico.<\/p>\n
Houston Fire Department Captain Andrew Roseborough and Dr. Jyothi Lagisetty say they were visiting the historic site when gunfire broke out near the Temple of the Moon.<\/p>\n
Roseborough said the visit had started as a peaceful tour before the situation changed suddenly.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt really was a beautiful day,\u201d Roseborough said.<\/p>\n
He said the couple then heard what sounded like multiple gunshots and people screaming.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard more pops and people screaming,\u201d Roseborough said.<\/p>\n
The couple took cover as the scene unfolded. Later, they said they heard someone calling for medical help.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomebody yelled doctor, doctor,\u201d Roseborough said.<\/p>\n
They ran toward the voice and found a child who had been shot.<\/p>\n
Lagisetty said she immediately began assessing the child.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaking sure that they\u2019re breathing,\u201d Lagisetty said.<\/p>\n
She said the child had injuries to the lower extremity and they worked to control bleeding using direct pressure rather than a tourniquet, based on the patient\u2019s condition.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were able to wrap it around,\u201d Lagisetty said.<\/p>\n
Roseborough said they also assisted a woman who had been shot, using materials provided by bystanders to help control bleeding.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt felt normal,\u201d Roseborough said, describing how they relied on their training.<\/p>\n
The couple said they later learned the victims they helped were reported to be in stable condition the following day.<\/p>\n
When asked about being called heroes, both downplayed the label, saying they were simply doing what their training prepared them to do.<\/p>\n
Roseborough said their actions reflected the response expected of Houston firefighters and medical professionals in an emergency.<\/p>\n
