Superhero cosplayer and RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 8 contestant Dax ExclamationPoint is now a real life hero. The drag queen just helped save the life of a gunshot victim.

Last Friday night after a Season 9 viewing party in Atlanta, Dax and others heard a gunshot. A limping man soon walked into in the bar and Dax went to his rescue.

Dax ripped off the Violet Chachki t-shirt he was wearing and created a tourniquet to stop the bleeding on the man’s leg.

“Luckily the bullet went right through and no major arteries were hit… it was jarring but everyone is alright now,” Dax wrote on Twitter.

Police arrived soon after and took it from there.
