Ep. 8: Courage to Live - Route 91: The Night Las Vegas Changed Forever

from The Courage To Live · host Joshua Bitsko

On October 1, 2017, Las Vegas was shattered by the Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting, the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, Josh and Jenna revisit that night from inside Mandalay Bay, where Josh responded as one of the officers racing toward the gunfire. He reflects on the split-second leadership decisions, the fear and courage of those moments, and the weight that lingers years later. Together, they explore the lasting toll on first responders, the resilience of the Las Vegas community, and what it truly means to find courage not only in the middle of chaos, but also in the long road of healing afterward.
