UF Health Security Guard Davay Kinsey is credited with helping to save the life of Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Captain Latorrence Norris. "When I arrived and what I witnessed was just unreal," Kinsey said. A patient, identified as 38-year-old Tony Bernard Harris, had grabbed Norris' box cutter and used it as a weapon. While attempting to assist his partner, Vincent Harper was also stabbed in his leg. Kinsey rushed to their aid on her golf cart as soon as the call came in at around 11:50 p.m. "Captain Norris was just bleeding profusely from his abdomen, through his shirt," Kinsey said. Kinsey knew it was a dire situation as Norris was losing a lot of blood. "For him to find out he had a collapsed lung -- that was a deep wound, a deep laceration, so absolutely, I knew there were just minutes," Kinsey recalled.
