British tennis player Laura Robson ‘safe’ after being caught up in Las Vegas shooting massacre
British tennis star Laura Robson took to social media to reveal she is safe after being caught up in a shooting massacre in Las Vegas.
At least 50 people were killed and over 200 wounded after a gunman opened fire at a music concert being held near Mandalay Bay Hotel in Nevada.
“I’m okay. We were right there..sounded like fireworks at first then everyone started running. Scary s**t,” wrote Robson, who shared a selfie before the massacre unfolded.
“My friend who was deeper in the crowd has been helping people who were shot. We’re all in shock,” the 23-year-old added.
According to reports, the gunman was eventually shot dead by the police.
Robson, an Olympic silver medallist, was in the States to compete in the $60K event in Templeton, where she lost in the quarter-finals to local hope Taylor Townsend last week.
