to music fest i was or outdoor events. do you feel the same? i ll be more cognizant about it. i think i ll be a little bit more aware of my surroundings, i guess. i mean, worst case this is the worst case scenario, but i feel like i m going to be a little bit more skittish around a lot of these fest i was ifls. would i like to go to another one? eventually. thank you what you did. thank you for coming on and give our best to christ yeen aand everything else you were with. thank you so much. thank you for the support. really appreciate it. when we come back, another harrowing story from the vegas shooting, a family enjoying the concert suddenly showered with bullets. the father shot in the leg. the son directly people to safety. the family tells me their story next.
shooting. people springing into action to save those who are wounded. one of them was kelly kol better son, an emt who saved the life of his girlfriend, christina, who has been shot in the heart. kelly joins me now. how is christina doing tonight? tonight she s doing really well. she did have her second surgery for to repair her heerm us and she s just resting right now. how are you dealing with this? slowly. a lot of my family is here. a lot of her family is here, as well as some of her friends and mutual friends that we have. and the support group that we ve had here is amazing. not only that, but everyone in las vegas here has been amazingly accommodating as well. absolutely. i just left there this morning and i can attest to that. do you mind taking us through when you heard the gunshots. just tell under the circumstances us what you saw and heard and then we ll move on and talk about the people who
that same year if my calendar is correct we saw a democratic congresswoman in arizona shot down. more recently we saw a republican congressman in the washington, d.c. area shot down. please tell me about the meaningful gun reforms, restrictions we ve seen in the wakes of these tragedies. we haven t. so i don t think the number 58 is suddenly going to change anything. it s interesting because this happened on sunday. i mean, this is just day four and, you know, usually when these things first started to happen after columbine and there was another shooting, you know, there would be nationwide outrage for two weeks, sometimes three weeks. right. it s been three or four days and it seems that the public sentiment and the outcry is sort of moving on. have we become immune to it? what s happening here? i think part of it is we re becoming inured. part of it is the news psychsale now so rapid. it s up to people like you and me to keep people focused on it. to keep showing them the nu
was he making a living off of this or doing it for the comps? what was going on? well, here is the interesting thing about video poker. video poker is one of the few games in a casino where you can make a living off of it. you can get to the expert and professional level where you actually can make more than you lose. was this guy able to do it? i don t think so. it looks to me like he was playing at a high level, a high enough level to be a high roller in the casino and in the vip program. and he feasted off the comps, the things that he got. i would guess that he was a net loser over time. he was playing good games and he was studied, so probably not too much compared to the comps he was getting. mary ellen, also according to the new york times, the room at the mandalay bay was comped and paddock called security to complain about the noise, country music coming from the room below him, twice the night before that shooting. does that tell you anything
