Good Samaritans and a security guard from a nearby bar rushed to help one of the victims.
"So I grabbed his shirt, I was right there, and I plugged up the hole, applied pressure and then just kept on talking to him," Eric Hinckley, a good Samaritan, said.
The two victims were transported to the hospital in a stable condition.
