A group of six Castlegar residents were among those sitting in the stands at a country music festival in Las Vegas when a gunman opened fire.

Jo-Ann Bursey, a realtor, was part of the group and describes what happened that night.

香蕉视频直播淲e were sitting in the bleachers 香蕉视频直播� watching Jason Aldean 香蕉视频直播� he was the last act that played for the night 香蕉视频直播� and heard some, what I thought was, fireworks,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淚 looked above 香蕉视频直播� all of us did, it was a group of eight of us 香蕉视频直播� and we looked up and we just went, 香蕉视频直播楾hat香蕉视频直播檚 not fireworks.香蕉视频直播� The music stopped and the shots started again.香蕉视频直播�

Bursey香蕉视频直播檚 group was separated but managed to meet up later. They hid underneath the bleachers and heard more shots.

香蕉视频直播淭hen it was just mayhem. Everybody香蕉视频直播檚 running and trying to take cover, not knowing. You could tell the shots were up high, then the sound changed and it just got louder, and we were running across the parking lot, hiding in between the tents for some of the booths that were there,香蕉视频直播� she said.

香蕉视频直播淲e got out by a 香蕉视频直播� parkade and sat down on the ground behind a cement wall and then managed to get into the Excalibur, where they ushered tons of people through and then we sat in the lobby on the floor for a while. Then we were on lockdown until 4:30 in the morning.香蕉视频直播�

Bursey and her group were staying at the Luxor Hotel & Casino, across the street from the Mandalay Bay Hotel, where the shooter, Stephen Craig Paddock, was firing from a room on the 32nd floor.

Bursey and her group had eaten dinner at the Mandalay earlier in the evening.

香蕉视频直播淚t was pretty surreal,香蕉视频直播� said Bursey, who was making her way back to Castlegar Tuesday morning. 香蕉视频直播淐an香蕉视频直播檛 wait 香蕉视频直播� going to kiss the Canadian ground when I get back in a couple of hours.香蕉视频直播�

Six of the people in Bursey香蕉视频直播檚 group, including herself, were from Castlegar and two were from Texas. None of them was injured, but they ended up looking after a Las Vegas girl while they were fleeing.

香蕉视频直播淲e kind of put her underneath our wing and took her with us because she was by herself and she had two friends. But I香蕉视频直播檝e been in touch with her since we got out of Vegas 香蕉视频直播� we got out of Vegas last night 香蕉视频直播� and two of her friends did die,香蕉视频直播� said Bursey.

香蕉视频直播淚t was pretty traumatic, so we had her spend the night in lockdown with us and then took her back to our hotel 香蕉视频直播� once they allowed us to go back in 香蕉视频直播� and just ensured that she got home safely.香蕉视频直播�

Bursey also met an elderly woman who had been injured.

香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 looking at her and I say, 香蕉视频直播楢re you OK? You have some blood on your shoulder,香蕉视频直播� and she said, 香蕉视频直播榊eah, I got shot.香蕉视频直播櫹憬妒悠抵辈��

Bursey asked to take a look and found that the woman香蕉视频直播檚 shoulder had been glazed by shrapnel. Bursey told her she needed to get looked at, but the woman replied, 香蕉视频直播楾here are more people hurt more than I am. I will be OK.香蕉视频直播�

Bursey brought the woman to the attention of security to make sure she got help.

More than 500 people were wounded, and 59 people were killed in what香蕉视频直播檚 considered the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Paddock was found dead by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department SWAT team when they breached his hotel room.
