Femoral artery, surprised they kept him alive that long.

I remember in “Band of Brothers” where one of the soldiers accidentally got shot in the leg with the Luger he had just taken from a dead German, it was over in minutes.

Yep, femoral. A thing I remind people who simply can't understand why the police don't shoot people "safely" in the legs.

How sad! He was probably dead before the ambulance got there. I carry a tourniquet in my purse...I live in the sticks

You can bleed into the thigh a lot of blood and not know it.
