UNLV assistant Nick Robone: Paramedic brother, friends saved my life

UNLV men's hockey assistant coach Nick Robone said the selflessness of his paramedic brother and friends saved his life amid the hail of gunfire at Sunday's tragic shooting in Las Vegas.

"I was fortunate to survive a horrific tragedy; however, I believe it's important that everyone tells their story," Robone, 28, told ESPN from his room at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas.

Authorities say 58 people were killed and nearly 500 injured in a 10-minute barrage of bullets fired from an upper-story Mandalay Bay hotel room window into a country music festival below. The gunman killed himself before police reached him.
