In the minutes and hours after the Las Vegas shooting, here’s what an emergency room nurse from Utah saw

When she got home at 8 a.m. Monday, Debbie Bowerman scrubbed the blood off her white gold wedding band with a toothbrush.

Her watch, with its gray leather band, was just high enough on her wrist to not be covered by the rubber gloves she had worn throughout the night before. So she could understand how that was now coated in what looked like rusty red paint.

The 50-year-old nurse moved to the small southern Utah town of Enoch a little over a year ago and had taken a two-hour bus ride earlier that day to get to her job at the Las Vegas medical center.
