Wife of Vegas Victim: 'He Saved My Life and Lost His'

One of the first victims to be identified from the Las Vegas mass shooting is a male nurse from Tennessee who had gone to the country music festival with his wife. 

What's more, his wife credits him with saving her life. "At this point, I'm in complete disbelief and despair," Heather Gulish Melton tells Nashville's Fox 17 of her late husband, Sonny Melton. 

He "was the most kind-hearted, loving man I have ever met," she said, adding, "He saved my life and lost his." She didn't provide further details about how her husband died. He was one of at least 58 people who were killed Sunday night when a gunman opened fire on the musical festival on the Vegas strip.
