Powerful Reunion of One October Survivors A Symbol of Hope.
Powerful Reunion of One October Survivors A Symbol of Hope.

There are so many stories of goodness, kindness and love that came out of the One October shooting, many which have not been publicly shared.  This one, in particular, is especially touching and represents the hundreds of stories like it that may not have been told.

As the shooting began to unfold, Las Vegas bartender Justin Uhart, who was working the Route 91 Harvest Festival, stumbled upon Jan Lambourne, a Canadian woman who had been shot in the stomach. As others fled the scene, Uhart stayed behind to sit vigil and tightly hold Lambourne’s hand, offering words of encouragement and support.  In that moment, they were bonded for life, and Lambourne now considers Uhart a son.  Watch this touching video of their reunion a few days after the shooting.
