I Survived The Vegas Music Festival Shooting 

my elementary school played a game called „gravity attack.“ a teacher would yell „gravity attack“ and we would all down on the ground as of the gravity pulled us down there. it was their innocent way of teaching us how to protect ourselves from guns. i hate that our schools have to do this. i hate it.

Tell me I wasn't the only one who started crying when she said her mom started singing to her

Everyone is thanking Kylie and her boyfriend but what about the girl who helped Kacie get over the fence? I hope she is safe and ok.

Am I the only one who cried when she said her mom started singing to her

Props to the staff member for holding his ground and stepping up. " He probably got paid minimum wage...and he didn't run. He stayed there to point people to the direction of an exit". Fight or flight..and the guy chose to fight the only way he could by helping others to safety. A freakin' hero IMO.

When that woman helped her over the fence saying that she needed to escape that hit me hard

I have a strong feeling there is a reason her parents weren’t there, they wouldn’t have been as quick, or able knowing they are older.

This must be the most unlucky family. She had a heart condition, her brother had cancer and she and her sister both were in a mass shooting. But at the same time they must be the luckiest family for surviving all this. I hope their luck lasts forever!

The staff was still helping even though he wouldve died. He still stayed to direct the people to the right exit. If he weren't there, not a lot of people wouldve known the exit. Such a hero.

Her sister was smart dont follow the crowds that's the danger zone stay spread out

It is beyond me how she didn’t shed one tear throughout this

Prayers for everyone who was wounded or killed in this shooting.

Her sister survived too. Just so everyone doesn't have to deal with that on top of everything else.

Why is this considered a “shooting” and not a “terrorist attack?”

getting someone with PTSD to talk about this, is…crazy. the fact that she can stay calm during this explaining is amazing. remember that god is watching over you and sending your guardian angels down to protect you. god bless this girl, she is so brave.

One of my best friends brother and his girlfriend were at this festival, he made himself a human shield to protect people as they were trying to get out he was shot in the leg as he wash protecting other people, his girlfriend was shot in the head and passed away after he tried his best to protect her from this horrible incident, may she rest in peace, and I am greatly humbled by his nobility to protect others at the cost of risking his life, while he made it out alive many many people died including his girlfriend

I had a substitute teacher who went to the festival and she didn’t survive. She was one of the only substitute teachers I actually liked

my cousin was shot and killed at this festival. may he rest in peace. God bless your soul

Bless the lady who helped her with getting her boot unstuck.

my teacher’s best friend was one of the many shot and killed in this. i remember how tired she looked and at the end of the day (we had her last period) she was trying her best to hold back tears. we had never seen our teacher so vulnerable and distressed. she finally broke down when the entire class got up and hugged her in one big group hug. it just reminds us all that you’ll lose someone eventually, and it’s going to hurt. but at least there’s someone there that will comfort you.

my cousin did too, and she had found out she was pregnant days before the concert so her baby is considered the youngest survivor of the shooting. now she’s 18 months old. someone interviewed her about it actually.

People forget this is a true crime channel also. This event was a crime.

This is horrible even hearing about it makes my heart break... just imagine parents hearing that their child is gone to a massive shooting

She called on the angels, then that woman helped her over the fence, the couple called them under the stage, the staff helped them exit, Their friends rescued them, & they helped each other survive ❤️

I was pregnant during the shooting and a couple guided me out ❤️ but I never got their names they told me they were from LA and know what gunshot sound like and those were gunshots and we needed to run

this is one of those times where i’m confused why people would dislike this video

It's sad that human's worst enemy are humans themselves.

I was in a 4 hour lockdown at my university and I remember when it started people were running and screaming that there’s a shooter outside. For hours no one knew what was happening, rumors were flying, people were calling their parents and crying. No shots were fired that day but it was still terrifying. I remember thinking “oh my god we’re next. We’re the next shooting” and seeing something like this reminds me of how lucky I am when so many people haven’t been. I could not imagine the terror of a real shooting.

How in the actual Hell did her incredible mom keep it together and do the exact right thing in that moment?

Let's just take a moment to appreciate Kylie (idk for sure how she spells her name) for having the guts to drive into a shooting and save a bunch of people instead of staying home 👏

The secretary at my High School was unfortunately one of the victims at this shooting. In her memory, we named the road that leads to our school after her.

I will never forget loosing my sister she was 2 years old and got shot in the head.

People need to stop being so insensitive and rude. This lady and her sister went through something traumatic and nearly died, but you 'don't care' and 'just want Ryan and Shane'. It's cruel and just disgusting of you to say that what she went through isn't important enough for you to listen to. Give her some respect.

My sister almost went to this concert... I thank God that she didn’t.

*my teacher didn't, but she's in a better place now* 😭❤️

The moment she said her mom started signing... tears. Just tears.

You can tell she tries to avoid using the word “shot” When she says the word “shooter” it’s almost like she has to pull the word out of her mouth

I can't imagine the guilt her parents must have felt. They gave her and her sister the tickets as a gift and the concert ends up being one of the worst mass shootings. No one should ever have to go through that.

I started to cry when she said her mom started to sing to her and then later on in the video I just got chills when she said her brother is a cancer survivor

Videos like this make me realise how lucky I am to be an Australian. We had one massive mass shooting and said never again.

When she calls her mom and they’re singing you are my sunshine, that literally made me tear up. What a horrifying situation to be in. Stay strong girl 💛

I’m crying. My dear friend Andrea Castilla was there and sadly she was hit and passed away. This video is the only video from the shooting that I have been able to watch. I’m so happy that you and your sister stayed safe! It hurts to know what you’ve been through and what my sweet Andrea went through.

the lady who helped her over the fence, the couple, and the concert staff guy were all the angels she prayed for🙏

This just makes my blood boil to the temperature of the sun. It pisses me off that today in the U.S. that this is just everyday thing.

For anybody who likes to just throw the word “triggered” around, just remember it’s more than just being offended by something.

Its crazy how much evil and hatred one person can have to be able to calmly murder people over and over

I remember getting the call when I was told my cousin was shot and killed at the festival. I cant even imagine living threw it.

That minimum wage concert staff is god in himself. ❤️

I’m a nurse and I had the privilege of taking care of a survivor of this shooting. The stories she told me were horrific. I couldn’t imagine experiencing something like this and having to deal with the trauma afterwards.

"Im not a religious person but I was praying to god to bring us angels" I can relate so much cuz that's exactly what happened to me when someone started shooting bullets on the house next to mine

I’m literally in tears, I started crying when she said her mom sang her “you are my sunshine”. I’m glad y’all are safe. The worker who stayed is an amazing person. I can’t put it in words how amazing they are.

My school was on break the week before the concert and we flew into Las Vegas and we drove around the west cost. Then for the last two days we stayed in the Mandaly bay hotel and from our hotel room we could see them setting up the concert and my dad said, “that looks fun, I wish we could stay another week and go.” 😨

A friend’s daughter was shot in the head at that festival. She survived, but it has been a long and hard road for her and the family.

I live in Vegas and I was there. Scariest moment of my life. Someone next to me got shot and I could do nothing but scream and keep down.

When she said her mom started singing “you are my sunshine” I BROKE. Bawling. 😭😭

My ex fiancee was going to go work and I told him to stay home cause I had a bad feeling. Thank God he stayed ❤️ a bunch of our friends worked the event and one of our friends had her own business and that's all gone because of the ptsd

Anyone with a negative comment, you saw the title, you clicked, you watched. It’s very clear unless you are illiterate. Have a heart.

My friend and his GF died at that show. It still feels a little unreal.

My highschool teacher was wounded pretty badly, but I’m so thankful she’s alive. It really breaks my heart how many people we lost that night. 🥺💙 also, the staff member is a legend. Wow. 💜

You can tell she is trying so hard not to break out in tears, i hope she is doing okay now.

Her eyes told the story

I’m watching this already feeling tense and deeply sad. Gut instincts are so RIGHT.

I remember this. I live in Vegas and it was the y’all of the school. My teacher said he was going to miss Monday. He came back Tuesday and explained that he was part of the shooting and was willing to explain. My heart dropped at that moment. His daughter was supposed to go to that but he didn’t want her to come because of school and he was so grateful he didn’t let her go. I was so fortunate to keep that teacher. He was favorite and so kind.

the fact that she didn't start sobbing hysterically shows how strong she is

I started instantly sobbing when she said her mom starting singing “you are my sunshine”. That’s my mom and I’s song and what she sings/sang when I was distressed about something. I think this is probably one of the hardest videos I’ve ever heard to watch. You’re an amazing person, your sister is amazing, you are so strong. Thank you so much for sharing your story and I hope you are successful in your healing process.

her eyes... i feel like she just saw the deepest secrets of my soul

the fact that she didnt cry and that she didnt even tear up-

I lost my uncle in this shooting. This hurts. I’m so happy they made it out okay.

Nobody deserves to go through this.

She’s not crying but you can see her reliving the fear as she tells her story. You can see it in her eyes.

I can’t imagine if my daughter called me saying she was in a mass shooting. I would be in shear panic that I could lose my baby at any moment. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the guilt I would feel that I have my daughter that concert ticket either 😔 I’m so happy that you made it out and in one piece ❤️❤️❤️

My mom was in Vegas that night. She never gets to go on vacations, but she was there. She had planned on going to get a T-shirt for my sister from that concert but she and my stepdad went to their hotel, and that’s when everything happened. Thankful is an understatement.

I think these segments are really human you know? Its easy to do these mysterious and quirky true crime episodes but the down low is that the foundation of true crime tends to be painful and traumatic. It’s a good reminder that true crime isn’t fictional and how we should approach these topics so that we can inform others while still being respectful towards those who are victimized by these acts.

Who the hell dislikes this video: They obviously don’t understand.

There was a shooter at my college, I’m an EMT and a nursing student. I called my dad and he was on the phone begging me to not leave my classroom no matter who was hurt. My teammate was next to me saying the same thing. Luckily there were no deaths and there was no injuries anywhere near me so I didn’t have to make the decision to go or stay. God bless those that helped, god bless those people there.

protect people not guns

This is heartbreaking. And the fact that she has Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome made this hit me even harder than it would have otherwise, because I have that too. So I know what kind of physical pain she would have been in while trying to run. It probably felt like having a heart attack, and she must have been so dizzy and close to fainting. Her strength in keeping going is truly amazing.

i live in vegas, and i remember waking up for school in the morning, and my mom telling me the news. i remember my heart dropping when i heard her news. may god bless the souls of all those who passed and the souls of those who had to experience this. ❤️

My mom was one of the many people involved in that shooting. As soon as she came home she saw me crying and I was just so happy when I saw her

I decided to go to a d&d session rather than meet a friend from out of town at the festival. I was less than a mile away... I return to work to my manager at his desk, an open bottle of whiskey in hand, and he looked up to me and in the most broken voice said, "I have to explain to my 6 year old that his little league coach and my best friend had his head blown off." My friend was one of the people who went back in during the firing to drag people back out. My friend who invited me was nearly trampled on the sidewalk. This event changed the lives of every single one of us.... Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind words and well wishes. I was lucky to just have stories. My friends were the ones who still suffer every day from what they saw, and I really appreciate the empathy.

And now she’ll never be able to listen to her favorite song without thinking about this tragic event....

I’m really interested in stories like this and none of them have ever made me cry this much.

this broke my heart. im scottish, we do not have shootings. it breaks my heart that this is what americans go through. may god bless you all and your guardian angel protect your life.

One of my teachers was there this day and I remember how different she was when she came back, which is understandable and expected. It was just heartbreaking seeing her go from super happy and bubbly to someone who was so down all the time and silent ):

My friends parents were there. They didn’t make it rip we miss you😢

As this gentle lovely woman was relating her experience, more and more I was expecting and dreading her saying her sister did not make it, especially as she was not there beside her in front of the camera. - I'm so glad she did! That they both survived! Though too many did not.

how did she not cry I cried half way through and this isn’t my story,,,,

i was staying at the hotel where the shooter was. it was terrifying but my ptsd is definitely not as bad as hers

I remember this. Hearing about 40 police cars rush by me. Hearing the EMT’s say that they didn’t have enough ambulances to take people to the hospital. Hearing the “fireworks” go off. Hearing that people still won’t vote for gun restraints

my teacher was actually there and recalled helping those who were shot and that is was very traumatizing , she said after the shooting she couldn’t stand the sound of pen clicks

Omg! This girl has POTS and was running and panicking for maybe a half hour. How did her heart not just give out or her feint? Blessings to her, her sister, her family, and all the survivors as well as those who’s lives were lost. 🕯

i started crying when she said she had to call her mom to say her goodbyes. i can't imagine being so terrified for your life that you have to say goodbye to your loved ones

The shooting needs to stop. This world needs more compassion and love. We need a complete change from top to bottom. Seeing videos like this make me deeply sad and scared to even go out.

For the 686 who disliked. What is wrong with you honestly?

Both my parents were there for there 20 years together and as soon as my dad heard gunshots (he's an ex millitary) he jumped on my mom and he got hit in the arm but still continued to shield my mom and they both survived. Its only today years later that i realise how much im lucky to have both of them still alive and im so glad they survived. If you loss family in this mass shooting im sincerly sorry for your loss.

Kacie: **Calmly explaining her story** Me: **trying to finish my drawing while sobbing**

10 to 12 minutes? That's already a long time if you're just waiting for something. I can't imagine 12 minutes of being shot at. That had to feel like an entire day.

I will never understand how people can destroy lives and families like this. I’m so sorry you had to go through this traumatic event. God bless you and your sister. I’m glad you’re both ok. I could never imagine losing family members in an event like this.

People crying at her mom singing to her. Me crying at that fact that this is our home and this could happen anywhere at anytime.

No one should ever have to fear for their life like this, this is so scary to hear thank god she’s survived but those who died May they Rest In Peace and god bless their families.
