The situation you describe is probably very dangerous! Whatever put the person in that position might still be around! So: I would most definitely back off and first ensure the safety of the scene and myself. If I felt safe, I would call 911 immediately.
In this circumstance, only if I felt 100% safe, and I thought the person would die almost immediately without my help would I approach and attempt to apply direct pressure to the site of major bleeding with my shirt.
With blood all over the place, and in a stressful situation, I would not take the time to try to try to take a pulse or check breathing, but simply try to control the major bleeding until help arrives.
