How would you react if you were caught up in the worst mass shooting in US History, the one that left 59 dead and over 500 wounded in Las Vegas? I have heard numerous tales of heroism during those terrifying moments. Not me. At the first sound of gunfire, I'd say, "Feet! Start walking!"
Matt Dees is a West Easton Borough Council member who publishes an informative and entertaining blog about his tiny borough called, appropriately enough, West Easton, Pa. He published a story abut his niece Amanda, who was among those targeted.
She was saved by a cab.
Others were far less fortunate. Bar Johnston, a local political activist, lost her older sister.
I am so sorry, Bar.
We are such an evil species, it seems.
