Assistant coach for the UNLV hockey team Nick Robone is recovering from surgery after being shot Sunday night at the Route 91 festival. He is expected to make a full recovery.
A bullet struck Robone in the chest and narrowly missed his lung, a statement from the team says. The statement goes on to say that his lung was not punctured, though it was bruised by the bullet.
Robone posted a statement to his Twitter Tuesday:
“Hey all! I wanted to thank everyone for their kind words, love, and generosity.
