The 2017 Las Vegas shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival claimed 59 lives and injured 500.

Jonathan Smith tried warning a group of girls and subsequently, was shot in the neck.  The bullet is still lodged in his body as doctors fear serious damage if they attempt surgery to remove it.

“I would want someone to do the same for me. No one deserves to lose a life coming to a country festival,” Smith told Washington Post.
