The "Stop the Bleed" buckets are an idea created by a surgeon who learned about the kits at a conference.

She says she realized in an active shooter situation the first aid buckets could be life-savers.

"The fact is this is what's happening. It's happening across the country and I think to have a prepared public is good," the doctor said.

The "Stop the Bleed" buckets will go in every classroom through that county in Ohio.
