"SNIP.....
Smith was focused on saving his young nieces, but they separated in the crowd. He says he turned back toward the stage to look for them, he saw people hunched behind a sheriff patrol car at the northwest edge of the concert lawn. Others were so frightened they didnt know what to do. He kept shouting, Active shooter, active shooter, lets go! We have to run.
He grabbed people and told them to follow him toward a handicapped parking area in the direction of the airport, away from Las Vegas Boulevard. It was a large field with several rows of vehicles. Smith and the others crouched down behind one of the last rows of cars.
I got a few people out of there, Smith said. You could hear the shots. It sounded like it was coming from all over Las Vegas Boulevard.
A few young girls werent fully hidden. He stood up and moved toward them to urge them to get on the ground. Thats when a bullet struck him in the neck.
......SNIP"

(5,101 posts)to this young courageous man and to all those to helped heroically; almost to the cost of their own lives.
It is sad to think that it wouldn't have been necessary if those deadly toys were prohibited.
What does $$$ mean when a worthy human have lost his life?
