[[Latino]] [[Daniel Hernandez]], Gabrielle Giffords' new 5-day intern may have saved her. Many are praising the actions of Hernandez, who was standing near Giffords when she was shot in the head[[media:Liberal Brain.jpg|brain]]. He had only been her intern for five days, but rushed to her side when she went down, held her head in his lap and applied consistent pressure to the wound. He is a junior at the [[University of Arizona]] and he also advised others what to do with the other wounded people while they waited for help to arrive, according to MSNBC.
Hernandez had taken some first aid courses in high school but he is being hailed as heroic for his actions on Saturday.
