All the people he saved are really thankful for him. They shared the story about his heroic act on social media, and Larry Rorick is one of them. In his Facebook post, he explained how the man in the red hat saved his wife by carrying her and tossing her over the safety fence.

Later on, the identity of the man in the red hat was revealed. His name is Anthony Chavez, a native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, who moved to Las Vegas in 2014. Chavez attended the annual Route 91 Harvest country music festival with his girlfriend Deia Torres when the terror struck. After knowing Chavez’s identity, Rorick immediately edited his Facebook post in a thankful note for him.

Another heartwarming story was from an agnostic man who found faith in God after witnessing the Las Vegas shooting incident. The man, Taylor Benge, declared his faith in an interview with Rick Berman from CNN after the incident. CNN may have ignored his statement and cut the interview short, but many people have watched his testimony of how God saved him during the chaotic and deadly situation.

Benge, who went to the concert with his sister, openly said that he came to the concert as an agnostic. However, after he witnessed a tragedy and survived the horror of Las Vegas shooting, he embraced a faith in God. It is because he believed that God blessed him to stay alive so that he can be God’s witness.

“I’m a firm believer in God now because there’s no way that all of that happened, and that I made it, and I was blessed enough to still be here alive talking to you today.”

During the interview, Benge was still shaken up from the terror. Despite the shock, he was still able to describe the Las Vegas shooting clearly, including the shooter’s vantage point. Watch the interview below.
