Web.com Pro Describes Eye-Witness Account Of Vegas Shootings

Everyone who witnessed the footage of the Sunday massacre in Las Vegas was stunned beyond words. Of course, the experience was exponentially worse for those actually on the grounds–even if they were fortunate to escape without suffering injuries by gunshot or being trampled by the panicked crowd.

Web.com Tour player A.J. McInerney was there along with his girlfriend to watch country music fav Jason Aldean perform. Globalgolfpost.com has the details of McInerney’s frightful day.

“Jake Owen had finished his set and I was with a group of about 20 people, just taking pictures and hanging out,” McInerney told the Global Golf Post. “Jason Aldean is one of my favorites and he came on and played two songs as I remember.

“I was with my girlfriend dancing and all of a sudden our friends heard what sounded like firecrackers behind us. Then someone beside said those aren’t firecrackers and told everyone to get down. Her brother (Anthony) was about five feet away and he jumped toward us.

“Then the shooter unleashed. It was like da-da-da-da-da-da … It just kept going. It lasted about a minute and then it let up. I grabbed my girlfriend and said we need to go. We just started running east (away from the hotel).”

“I saw people to the left and right of me get shot,” McInerney says. “I could hear the bullets hit people. You could see the bullets hitting the ground right beside you. I don’t know what a war zone is like but it felt like we were sitting ducks. … It was a pretty gruesome scene.

“When we hit the ground, we tried to take as much cover as we could. I grabbed my girlfriend and her brother jumped on top of us. We try to protect the people we love. Then you just tried to run. Everyone has to go.

“We were helping people get over these long walls. As I look back on it, as I reflect, there was a kind of caring together. If you saw someone down, you had to help them.”
