Taylor Winston, a retired Marine sergeant, had just grabbed a couple of beers with a friend and taken his position stage-right at the Jason Aldean concert this past weekend when the gun shots started to ring out from Mandalay Bay.
And while most sought to flee the concert and save themselves from the horrifying scene, Winston, an Iraq war veteran, spotted a nearby field full of pickup trucks, stole one and started transporting victims to the hospital. Per CBS News:
Taylor Winston had remarkable poise less than 24 hours after Sunday night’s deadly mass shooting at a Las Vegas country music concert. The Marine veteran ran from danger after a sniper opened fire on the crowd, but instead of leaving, he drove more than two dozen victims to the hospital.
“People started scattering and screaming and that’s when we knew something real was happening,” Winston said.
“The shots got louder and louder, closer to us and saw people getting hit, it was like we could be hit at any second. Once we got to the fence, I helped throw a bunch of people over, and got myself over,” Winston said. “It was a mini war zone but we couldn’t fight back.”
The 29-year-old veteran couldn’t fight the threat, but he was able to drive.
