Las Vegas shooting: '11 Minutes' docuseries details events of deadliest US shooting in history
Fox News
A new documentary series details first-person stories of heroism from the night of the Oct. 1, 2017, shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting in Las Vegas.
"As a storyteller, I have often felt disappointed in how that night was shared. It felt like the narrative that was often explored was that of the worst person there and that the story faded fast into the next hard headline," survivor Ashley Hoff, one of the subjects of the docuseries, wrote in a Sept. 13 Facebook post about the series. "As the yearly markers passed, it felt more and more that the world stopped remembering the night 22,000 of us will never forget. I got to thinking - maybe that’s why I was there. Because I'm a storyteller and I could share what I remembered." People pray at a makeshift memorial for shooting victims in Las Vegas, on the anniversary of the mass shooting two years earlier.

Hoff added that as she ran out of the field where the country concert was being held as the shooter opened fire on thousands of attendees, she "got to bear witness to some of the most beautiful moments of humanity" as people rushed to help one another.
