Las Vegas Shooting

As we all know the Las Vegas shooting was very devastating to the country. Many were killed and even more injured. Here are some of the people who died during the concert. Afghanistan veteran, Christopher Roybal. In July Roybal wrote a Facebook post, "My response has always been the same, not one filled with a sense of pride or ego, but an answer filled with truth and genuine fear/anger," he wrote. "What's it like to be shot at? It's a nightmare no amount of drugs, no amount of therapy and no amount of drunk talks with you war veteran buddies will ever be able to escape." Hannah Ahlers, a stay at home mom of 3 was shot in the head while dancing with her husband of 17 years. Denise Salmon who was on vacation with her husband was also shot. Carrie Barnette, a 10-year Disney employee, also died in the attack. These are just some of the many that were killed in this tragic shooting. The only information really known about the gunman is that he was 64 years old who was retired and divorced twice with no children. He did not really have a criminal background before the shooting. What he did will never be forgotten, for he killed and injured so many who were trying to enjoy themselves at the concert. They did not deserve what happened to them but as a country, we will come together to get through this.
