Las Vegas shooting victim and U.S. Navy veteran Christopher Roybal posted a vivid description of what it is like to be shot at months before his death, referencing his time serving in Afghanistan.
Roybal was a Denver resident working at a fitness center and celebrating his upcoming birthday with his mother at a country music concert in Las Vegas when he was gunned down by attacker Stephen Paddock. He reportedly served with a U.S. Army Division in Kandahar where he repeatedly came under fire, causing him some apparent distress.
He described his experience in detail July 13 in his last public Facebook status:
His friend with him at the concert later told his mother he was shot in the chest and could not be revived. “He saw Christopher take his last breath,” she said.
She followed up in a Facebook status, saying, “Today is the saddest day of my life. My son Christopher Roybal was murdered last night in Las Vegas. My heart is broken in a billion pieces. For anyone who knew the relationship we shared, you then know we were best friends. I will forever miss my Munchkin.”
