Couple who survived Las Vegas shooting die in car crash
A husband and wife from California who survived the mass shooting at a Las Vegas country music festival have since tragically died in car crash.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that Dennis and Lorraine Carver died after their vehicle crashed into a metal gate outside their community in Riverside County, California, on October 16 and burst into flames.
The Carvers were at the Route 91 Harvest music festival on October 1 when the massacre, in which mass murderer Stephen Paddock shot 58 people started. Dennis Carver jumped on top of his wife to shield her from bullets.
The couple, who had been together for 22 years, managed to get up and run away uninjured.
“That’s just the kind of love they had for each other,” the couple's 20-year-old daughter Brooke Carver said.
She said her parents had grown deeper in love in the two weeks after the shooting and that those 14 days were spent "living in the moment".
“I swear they were more in love those two weeks than the last 20 years," Ms Carver said.
But despite the tragedy, the 20-year-old said the family found peace knowing the couple left the world at the same time.
“They couldn’t live without each other," the couple's 16-year-old daughter Madison said.
