On October 1, 2017, 58 people were killed, and more than 500 were injured when a gunman starting firing into the crowd from the Mandalay Bay hotel.

Chris posted to Twitter today (10/1), "Reflecting on one of the scariest things I’ve been through in my life, and how many lives were changed that night… Tell those you love that you love them today #Route91."
