Stranger reunites mum and child separated during Las Vegas shooting

As the dust settles on the biggest mass shooting in US history, an uplifting story of a mother and her son has emerged.

A little boy who was separated from his family in the panic after Sunday's Las Vegas shooting has been reunited with his mum. Five-year-old Aden Huser was attending the Route 91 festival at the Mandalay Bay Hotel with his sister, mother and aunt. Shortly before the violence broke out, his mother took his sister to use the toilet, leaving him with his aunt. He became separated from his aunt after the gunfire began and was left alone in the chaos. "I didn't know where my sister was so I didn't know where to run," he told KTNV. Thankfully, a stranger running past saw Aden and decided to grab him and run. Lindsay Rogers admitted that she was torn about taking him with her. "I was nervous to take him because I knew that his mom would be devastated to find that her child was gone, but in the moment we thought that the best decision was to get as many people as safe as possible," she told ABC News. "He was really brave and really good. He didn't cry or anything; I think he was just confused." Lindsay fled with Aden and a friend to a nearby motel for safety. Her friend tweeted a photo of the little boy in the aftermath of the shooting in a bid to find his mum. https://twitter.com/jreid323/status/914737287996440578 The post was shared thousands of times and Lindsay was soon put in contact with Aden's grandparents. They retrieved him later that night and Aden was reunited with his mum earl the next morning. "All I remember is seeing my son come out of the garage door and I dropped to my knees. "He ran as hard as he could to me and we were like one for a second. He just held on to me so tight."
