Reston Worker Describes Terrifying Las Vegas Shooting: Report

RESTON, VA — A woman who works in Reston was caught up in the madness of the Las Vegas shooting because it was her job to be there, and she described the terrifying ordeal in an interview with a West Virginia radio station.

Courtney Robey, who hails from West Virginia but works for the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association in Reston, was in Las Vegas Sunday night for the Route 91 Harvest Festival when gunfire rang out.

"The worst thing that you thought was going to happen to you was people getting drunk and starting a fight, and that could be anywhere, but I don’t know how you go on from this," she told WAJR.

She was at the event to "promote the RV lifestyle," as the company does at about five to 10 music festivals per year.

"We all looked up, expecting to see fireworks that maybe somebody messed up and they were setting off early, but when we looked up there was nothing there," she said according to WAJR. "We all looked at each other, and for that brief moment we thought, ‘Where are the fireworks?’ and that’s when the automatic fire started."
