A Derbyshire man caught up in the most deadly mass shooting in US history says he's still trying to make sense of what happened.
David Miller, from Chesterfield, was among thousands of people enjoying a country music festival in Las Vegas when it was attacked by a lone gunman from a nearby hotel window.
The massacre left 58 people dead and another 500 injured.
Mr Miller, who escaped unharmed, told BBC Radio Derby: "There was a rat-a-tat-tat, like jumping jacks on Bonfire Night. A guy ran past us saying 'I've just seen someone being shot - it's real'.
"People around us started panicking, there were people falling over. If you didn't keep up you got crushed - it was 22,000 people, many of them trying to get out of the same exit.
"Right now I'm holding it together. I'm going to wait till I get back home before I throw an arm around myself and get counselling or whatever it is I need."
