Heroes and Survivors of the Las Vegas Shooting

Carly Krygier lay on top of her daughter to shield the girl from bullets, she told CNN. They both made it out safely.
Todd Blyleven got out, then went right back in.
“I had two arms, I had two legs, I hadn’t been shot, I was healthy and I knew people were in danger,” he told MSNBC. “And I just needed to go back and help wherever I could.”
Sonny Melton died while protecting his wife, Heather Melton, she told WSMV-TV.
“He grabbed me and started running when I felt him get shot in the back,” she said.
Tom McIntosh said he wouldn’t be alive if not for the help of a stranger, who used a belt to create a makeshift tourniquet for his wounded leg. The “Today” show found that stranger, James Lawson, and reconnected the two for an on-camera reunion. “Thanks buddy,” Mr. McIntosh said as they hugged.




Lindsay Lee was in the passenger seat of a truck, watching victims being carried on makeshift stretchers, when a man approached her window. “Right now, we need your truck,” he said. “We just need to get people over to the hospital, O.K.?”
“O.K., go ahead, put them all in the back,” she responded.
Steve Keys, a firefighter, was performing CPR on a woman when he was grazed by a bullet. He stayed to help people instead of getting medical attention.


“Please, please, please say prayers,” he wrote on Facebook.
Jonathan Smith estimated that he saved about 30 people, grabbing people and guiding them away from the scene, before he was shot in the neck. He was able to walk out of the hospital, but doctors left the bullet in. “I might have to live with this bullet for the rest of my life,” he told The Washington Post.
Taylor Winston found a truck with keys inside, stole it, loaded as many victims as he could into the back seat and drove them to a hospital. After going back for another round, helping a total of 20 to 30 victims, the Marine veteran returned the keys to the truck’s owner on Monday. [WBTW-TV]
Krystal Goddard and Amy McAslin don’t know the man who saved them. He had already been shot, but he shielded the women and held tight to them as they chanted: “Everything is going to be O.K.” [CNN]
Addison Short had been shot in the leg and couldn’t run. A man she didn’t know threw her over his shoulder and carried her to a taxi, which took her to the hospital. [CNN]
Meanwhile, the lines to give blood in the Las Vegas area circled blocks.
