What kind of first aid should one use for a gun shot wound before paramedics arrive?

Gunshot wounds are a major trauma and thus should be treated as quickly as possible in hospital. A first aider's responsibility when treating a gunshot wound in this case is to minimise blood loss by applying direct pressure (or if need be indirect pressure) to restrict the blood flow to the injured area. Note that a first aider's first priority is to maintain their safety, so if the gun-weilding person is still in the area then it is not recommended to put themselves in danger. If this was the case then the police should be called to remove them before attempting to administer first aid.
