5. Restaurant community stands unbowed
Among the 22,000 concertgoers who could have been shot at random during Sunday’s rampage in Las Vegas were at least two members of the restaurant community. But don’t expect Corey and Craig Nyman, the sons of longtime restaurant operator and consultant Robert Nyman, to be wincing from the experience. The two spoke with CBS newsman Anthony Mason the day afterward to show the resilience they shared with fellow Las Vegas residents after the tragedy. Here’s the clip.
The elder Nyman and his wife, Judy, were not at the show, but had been in the Mandalay Bay an hour before the shooting started.
Craig Nyman is the head of music and live performances for the Life Is Beautiful arts festival, held two weeks earlier in Las Vegas. Authorities now say the Mandalay Bay shooter, Stephen Paddock, may have considered mounting his sniper attack during that event.
