LAS VEGAS -- A survivor of the Route 91 Harvest festival shooting in Las Vegas is hoping to open a new chapter Saturday by getting married on the fifth anniversary of the worst day of her life.
“Something bad happened to me on this day that rocked and changed it,” Brittany Castrejon said in a recent interview. “I didn’t have control over it. An evil person got to say what happened to me, my cousin and everyone else on that day. Me getting to marry my best friend on that day, I can make it a great day in my life.”
The Las Vegas woman, now 33, was among thousands who attended the country music festival on Oct. 1, 2017, across from Mandalay Bay. Sixty people died as a result of the shooting, and hundreds were injured.
