Looks like all those cosplay outfits really rubbed off on Drag Race season 8 fan fave Dax ExclamationPoint. Over the weekend she became a real-lifesuperhero after saving the life of a gunshot victim!
Dax was attending a Season 9 viewing party at Mary’s in east Atlanta, when suddenly the bar patrons all heard a gunshot. Moments later, the victim staggered to the backdoor of the bar, bleeding and in need of help.
According to NewNowNext:
The man arrived with a gunshot wound through the leg, so Dax tore off the Violet Chachki T-shirt he was wearing and used it to create a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.
“Luckily the bullet went right through and no major arteries were hit… it was jarring but everyone is alright now,” Dax wrote on Twitter, adding that police arrived quickly and took care of the man.
Life achievement unlocked: I just used a @VioletChachki t-shirt as a tourniquet for a gun shot would…… yeah violet helped save a life…
