Per BBC Sport, the 23-year-old added, "My friend who was deeper in the crowd has been helping people who were shot. We're all in shock."

BBC News reported 64-year-old gunman suspect Stephen Paddock opened fire on concert-goers from the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay Hotel, killing "at least 50 people" and injuring 200 more.

The Times' tennis correspondent Stuart Fraser posted a picture of Robson attending the Route 91 Harvest festival prior to the shooting:

According to witness reports, "hundreds of shots were fired" toward the outdoor congregation, and footage circulating on social media suggest the gun used was automatic.
