A Victoria man lucky to be alive after being caught in the hail of bullets in Las Vegas Sunday has been reunited with the first responder he credits with saving his life.
21-year old Sheldon Mack, injured in Sunday’s mass shooting while trying to help others who were also injured.
Mack was shot in the abdomen and arm.
An off-duty paramedic, Jimmy Grovom help stop the bleeding and get Mack to the hospital.
Sheldon's dad, Hudson Mack, a former CTV News Anchor said in interviews yesterday and on social media that the family wanted to thank the person who helped their son.
Grovom walked into Macks Vegas hospital room Wednesday to huge thank you's hugs and tears. "Somebody said hey I saw this guy he's at this hospital so he came in this morning and I'm sure that he and Sheldon are going to be lifelong friends."
Sheldon still has two bullets lodged in his body from the attack and it remains unclear when he'll be able to return home.
