KNOWLTON -- A state trooper used a computer cable, a decorative arrow and quick thinking to help save a man's life Wednesday, state police said in a Facebook post today.

At about 3:46 p.m., troopers from Hope Station responded to an accidental shooting at a residence in the township.

When Trooper Roy Sanchez arrived, he discovered a victim who had sustained an accidental gunshot wound to the leg.

Sanchez requested advanced life support, but knew he had to tend to the victim's heavily bleeding leg by applying a tourniquet, according to police.

Sanchez grabbed a nearby computer cable, found a decorative arrow hanging on the wall and used the items to create a makeshift device to stem the flow of blood from the victim's leg.

A short time later, Troopers Aaron Coleman and Michael Butler arrived on scene and helped move a desk to render further aid to the victim.

When advanced emergency personnel arrived, they used Quick Clot gauze, which was provided by troopers, to control the bleeding and applied a second tourniquet before transporting the victim to Lehigh Valley Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, police said.

Additional details about the shooting and the identity of the victim are not being released at this time.

Police said the shooting remains under investigation; however, a preliminary investigation shows that it was not suspicious.

In the Facebook post about the incident, state police commended the officers involved, saying their "quick and decisive actions undoubtedly increased the victim's chances of survival."
