Las Vegas shooting victim: Adrian Murfitt, Anchorage, Alaska

Adrian Murfitt, 35, is among the 59 people killed by the gunman who rained bullets onto Route 91 Harvest festival country music concert goers Sunday night. His sister, Shannon Gothard, said her brother died in his friend’s arms. A commercial fisherman, Murfitt ended his months-long fishing season in August and returned home to Anchorage, Alaska, ready for a vacation. “He had a really successful season this year and decided to go to Vegas to the concert to celebrate and treat himself,” Gothard said. Murfitt worked his first season as a commercial fisherman in high scHomhool when a teacher offered to bring him along. Gothard said she was amazed by how slim, muscular and tan the months on the boat made him.
