To be honest, my friend SFC William Farrell I think Marine Corps veteran Taylor Winston who was attending a concert with his girlfriend at the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest country music festival meant to borrow the truck instead of stealing it.
His instincts to help took over most likely when the shots rang out from the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino.
In any event I am glad he was able to transport many victims to the hospital.
FYI "Army veteran Rob Ledbetter was also present during the Las Vegas massacre.
Ledbetter’s brother was shot and injured as bullets rained down, The Associated Press reported. After finding cover in a VIP area, the former Army sniper who served in Iraq immediately rushed to tend to the wounded.
“The echo, it sounded like it was coming from everywhere and you didn’t know which way to run,” Ledbetter told the AP.
Ledbetter fashioned a makeshift tourniquet on a teenage girl with a flannel shirt, compressed the shoulder wound of another victim, and aided another man who had a bullet go through his leg.
“I’m saving people, or trying to do my best. But it got to the point, I saw people all over, laying where we used to be standing ... just laying there and nobody getting to them and I couldn’t get out there,” he told the AP. “The shots just kept coming in and bouncing. I would have been in harm’s way.”
