A 21-year-old woman who was among the nearly 500 people injured in a mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest festival has filed a lawsuit against MGM Resorts International.
The Watkins family from Aliso Viejo, California, came to Las Vegas for the Route 91 Harvest festival. They got separated, saw death, helped ferry the wounded and made it through alive.
Research shows that experiencing or witnessing a mass shooting can lead to serious psychological consequences: distress, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder.
Californians comprised more than half of the 58 people killed in the Route 91 Harvest Festival mass shooting Sunday, according information gathered by Review-Journal reporters.
California resident Melissa Fierro purchased three-day tickets to the Route 91 Harvest Festival to celebrate her 40th birthday with a friend. She remembers dancing and having a good time as Jason Aldean performed on stage when suddenly she heard “pop, pop, pop.”
Paramount High School teachers Frank and Autumn Bignami of California are two of the 527 victims injured in the worst mass shooting in U.S. history.
