University alumna Allison Crute was injured by a gunshot in the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Oct. 1. Crute graduated from the Nursing School in 2013, and now works as a traveling nurse.
Crute was attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival with her boyfriend, Andrew Kampe, who was also injured.
According to a Facebook post from the University’s School of Nursing, Crute has received emergency surgery to control bleeding and will be undergoing surgery soon to repair her radius, which was shattered by a bullet.
Crute’s father, Allen Crute, stated in a Facebook post Oct. 2 that both Crute and Kampe are alive and stable.
A GoFundMe page for Crute’s recovery has raised over $21,000, and has been updated with information on her recovery.
“Her insurance is minimal at this time and the deduction is very high,” the page read. “Let's help her focus on recovery.”
At least 59 people were killed and over 500 people were injured in the shooting.
