Bryce Burtner is a host on BiCoastal Media’s Country station (Q103) in Medford, OR. He was in the line of fire in Las Vegas when Stephen Paddock started shooting toward the Route 91 Harvest Festival from a hotel across the street. Burtner tells ABC 12 in Portland that the worst part of this whole deal was seeing bodies on the ground. “I saw five, and that was the first real deaths I’ve ever seen, and it’s something that you’re never going to unsee.”
Burtner said once he knew what was going on he decided to help people. “Then somebody grabbed my hand and said get out of here and so I did.” Bryce and his wife jumped an 8-foor fence and sprinted to cover. They were knocking on hotel doors trying to get inside, when one man let them in. Bryce says there were dozens of other people in the room laying on the floor in the dark. He said he spent nearly 7 hours in the bathroom with no lights or Internet just wondering what was going on. Eventually they made it out to safety.
