Heroes for Hope: Las Vegas Mass Shooting Survivor Tells his Story

October 1, 2017 was a day that changed the lives forever for those who were in attendance of the Route 91 Harvest Festival on the Las Vegas Strip.

From the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel a gunman opened fire shooting over 1000 rifle rounds into the crowd below. The tragic result was the loss of 60 wonderful people, and the wounding of 867 total from the gunfire and ensuing panic.

Everyone there that day has a story that needs to be told so we ever forget, honor of those we lost, and bravery of those who came to the aid of those in need. This isn’t just a story about a tragic event, but the battle to overcome and THRIVE ON!
