"An Oxford police officer was commended for quick thinking on the job that saved a woman's lifeOfficer Andrew Miller was awarded Tuesday morning with the department's Life Saving Award during an Oxford City Council meeting.Miller was dispatched Aug. 10 to a shots fired call. When he arrived, he found a woman who had been shot in both of her upper legs.\"I saw what was happening and knew if she didn't have the bleeding stop, it was going to go very bad for her,\" Miller said.He said he keeps a tourniquet on his belt in case he's injured and needs one quickly. He had another officer grab the medical kit from his car, which also held a tourniquet. He applied them above the gunshot wounds, which stopped the bleeding and likely saved the woman's life.The victim's family was present Tuesday to thank Miller for his actions.\"If he wasn\u2019t there, like he said, she probably would have bled out and died at the scene. And her daughter was there, so it just means so much to us. We\u2019re just happy to have somebody like that to step up and take charge and save her,\" said Katrina Wright, the victim's sister. \"He's gone above and beyond the call of duty.\"\"Very rarely do we get to actually intervene and make a difference. It was great. All of the training was worth it. It just solidified everything,\" Miller said."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
