This has been
called the deadliest
shooting in US history.
Stephanie Riggs is
also in Las Vegas.
She sat down with one of
the survivors, Lyn Martinez,
and explains how life will
never be the same for her.
It was just
gunshots, and gunshots,
and gunshots and a
guy fell behind me.
And he was covered in blood,
my boots are covered in blood.
STEPHANIE RIGGS:
Lynette Martinez
thought she was
hearing fireworks,
but when country star Jason
Aldean ran off the stage,
she ran for her life.
LYNETTE MARTINEZ: I'm
just so grateful that I
get to see another day.
And there's people
that couldn't.
And I see the videos
online of the gunshots,
and what happened, and I can't
even hear it, because it just--
I'm just numb to it,
and I just can't--
like, I shouldn't be
getting used to gunshots.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: This
16-year-old grew up overnight.
My heart goes out to everyone.
I understand.
I understand, I was there.
And I'm just praying
for every single person,
for healing and peace.
When Lynette sees
all of these people
packed into blood centers
throughout Las Vegas,
trying desperately to keep up
with the life and death demand,
she sees hope, healing,
and good overcoming evil.
LYNETTE MARTINEZ: And it's
amazing to see the blood
donation banks with hundreds
of people lining up,
because they're not
thinking about politics,
they're not thinking
about religion
while they're doing it.
They're thinking
about other people.
And they're thinking about
people that are helpless.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: Martinez still
cannot believe she made it out
alive.
I was waiting to
get shot, I wasn't
waiting to come out alive.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: And now
that you have come out alive,
how do you see the world?
So much different.
It's so different.
I find I have so much
compassion towards other people.
I have-- I just--
I just thank God
every single day.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: Church is the
only place she wanted to go,
and is so grateful she
has this community.
LYNETTE MARTINEZ:
My heart is warmed
by the many people that are
coming together right now, even
at this church.
And it's just amazing.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: And how do
you feel about the gunman?
I don't think it's his fault.
I don't think it's his fault.
He's not right, he's--
it wasn't God, it
wasn't-- it wasn't him.
It was another thing.
It was an evil thing.
I forgive him.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: She plans
to take it one day at a time,
and cling to her faith.
So I'm going to read The
Word, and I'm going to worship,
and I'm going to pray, because
that's the only thing that
can get me through it.
STEPHANIE RIGGS: You
never really know
how you'll respond when your
world comes crashing down.
LYNETTE MARTINEZ: I'm
going to love people more.
I'm going to think of people
as if they were my friend,
they were my best
friend, because they're--
as if they were my brother and
my sister, because they are.
We're all together
here for a reason.
May we all choose to worship
in the midst of the storm.
