‘You hear the people screaming:’ Medicine Hat woman caught in Vegas mass shooting
MEDICINE HAT, AB — A Medicine Hat woman says she and her family are thankful to be alive following the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
Vicki and Don Boone, along with her brother and sister in-law, were on the ground at the festival Sunday night. Speaking over the phone from Edmonton, Vicki recalls the moment when things began to go wrong during Jason Aldean’s headlining set.
“We remember him being three or four songs in, and we were standing in front of the stage, but more to the left from Mandalay Bay, and I heard ‘pop-pop-pop’,” she said.
