Group of survivors of Oct. 1 shooting ask, “What about us?”

A group of about 50 survivors of the Oct. 1 Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting delivered a recurring message Tuesday: “What about us?” The Las Vegas Victims Fund committee held a town hall meeting Tuesday morning to solicit input on the draft protocols it released Nov. 16, outlining who should receive donations following the Oct. 1 shooting. As proposed, families of those who were killed in the shooting and people who sustained permanent brain damage and/or permanent paralysis resulting in continuous home medical assistance would receive the highest level of payment out of the fund, the draft guidelines propose. People who were physically injured and admitted to a hospital within 48 hours of the shooting for at least one night between Oct. 1 and Jan. 31, 2018 would receive the next level of funding, according to the draft.
