LAS VEGAS – In a span of one month, from the first to the 31st of October, A.J. McInerney has run a physical and emotional gauntlet.
On Oct. 1, McInerney was one of thousands who attended the Route 91 Harvest music festival, an event that turned into the deadliest mass shooting in American history when a gunman killed 58 people and injured 500 more as he fired into the outdoor crowd from his hotel room, overlooking the site on the city’s famed Strip.
As bullets rained down on the crowd, McInerney laid on top of his girlfriend, Alyssa, to shield her from the spray.
