Las Vegas Victim from Maryland Takes First Steps After Critical Injury

Tina Frost, a victim from the Las Vegas concert shooting, continues to make progress after being seriously injured by gunfire, according to a GoFundMe page statement.

Frost was shot in the head but survived. Her family said the bullet lodged in her right eye, and doctors had to remove the eye. She was originally in a coma but has been making progress, including waking up on her own and responding to people and music.

A statement on her GoFundMe page said Frost took her first steps on Friday, Oct. 13 with the assistance of nurses. It said doctors still expect a long road to recovery and with more surgeries.

The statement said Frost is tapping to music and squeezing the hands of visitors. It said she was able to breathe on her own for six hours.

Stephen Paddock, 64, of Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire from his 32nd floor of a nearby hotel onto a crowd of people attending a concert on the Las Vegas strip on Oct. 1. Fifty eight people were killed, and more than 500 people were injured, including Frost, who grew up in Anne Arundel County, Maryland.
