Cedar Rapids Woman Shares Story Of How She Escaped Las Vegas Concert Shooting [WATCH]
Leslie Hess of Cedar Rapids says she isn't sure she'll ever go to an outdoor country music festival again. And who could blame her? Hess was in the crowd in Las Vegas on Sunday night when gunfire rang out, claiming the life of 58 people and injuring over 500 more. Hess wasn't hit by a bullet. She says that her injuries are more mental and will take some time to heal. Hess joined Brain and Courtlin and told her story about running for her life and finally returning to her home in Cedar Rapids.
