hey , speed it up , harrington.-the sheriff is still alive.-his heart is still beating and the blood is still spurting from a damaged artery in the bullet wound.-bernie was in back with the barely breathing man.-when they reached the hospital , they grabbed a gurney and wheeled him into the emergency room.-staff went to work on him and managed to stop the bleeding and get him stabilized.-then they called for an air ambulance to take him to dallas for special care .
