What does this "one" refer to? In the VOA news.(http://www.51voa.com/VOA_Standard_English/boston-gears-up-for-first-marathon-after--bombings--55830.html) The context is: "We had one kind of where we're standing now, and we had one in the corner, I had one on the bench, and I want to say there was one down in the basement. The scene outside was the most gruesome thing I've ever seen, other than just watching an actual war-style movie, that's what you saw, but this was totally real life," said O’Hara. My question is what the 'one' of "We had one kind of where we're standing now, and we had one in the corner, I had one on the bench," refer to? Thanks very much!

The full context is this sentence from the previous paragraph - Manager Shane O'Hara said that when some of the most seriously wounded were brought in, his employees tore sports clothes off hangers to make tourniquets and bandages. So the "one" that he is referring to are individual wounded people and where they were placed the shop.
