Survivors of the massacre in Las Vegas who had a chance to meet with President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump said they were touched at how "caring" and "sympathetic" they both were.
Stephanie Melanson, whose mother is on life support after being shot Sunday, told CNN's "New Day" that the meeting was overwhelming.
"They're real people. He's a real human. She's a real human. They had a heart. They were caring. They were sympathetic. They had a listening ear. He sends his condolences … it was hard to take in," Melanson told CNN.
"Before [Trump] could finish talking, [Melania Trump] got up and just beelined over to us and just hugged me and told me, 'Your mom is strong, she's a fighter, she'll be OK. She's gonna make it,'" Melanson said.
Melanson said taking her mom to the country music festival in Las Vegas was a Mother's Day gift.
