Las Vegas shooting survivor helps others mass shooting survivors

ROCKLIN, Calif. -- Lisa Fine survived a mass shooting. Now she's helping other survivors.

"Why are these monsters trying to kill all these beautiful people?" Fine said, referring to Wednesday night's mass shooting at Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks that left 12 people dead.

"Right now what they're going through is complete shock. It's a surreal feeling. I get chills even telling you about it. You don't know who you are anymore," Fine explained.

This is something that motivated Fine to start her own non-profit, Route91 Strong, which provides financial support and care for survivors of mass shootings.

"If they need any help, they can reach out to us and apply for financial assistance for anything that they may need. We just want to make sure that they're okay and we reach their immediate needs."
