per KSTP:

Phil is now out of the ICU and recovering in Las Vegas - the city in which he now lives.

Although a reminder of that deadly night will forever stay lodged just one inch from his heart.

"I believe that was God's hands," Mike said. "He calls you when he is ready. And I don't know what he has in mind for Phil. But obviously, he has something left for Phil to do and he chose to spare him."

Phil's brother used to coach football with P.J. Fleck, now in his first year as head coach at the University of Minnesota.

Once he heard about Phil's injuries, Fleck sent a personal, motivational message.

His father said that was the first time his son smiled - or showed any emotion other than pain.


The family is hoping Phil will be out of the hospital soon.

That's awesome. Great to hear things like this after such a tragic event
 


Was out in Las Vegas this past week. Talked to 2-3 people who had friends who were shot. One of them, a teacher, didn't make it. With nearly 600 injured and/or dead and 20,000 people at the site, there are thousands upon thousands of people who had friends or relatives directly affected.

Here's to Coach Fleck for easing the suffering for a few of them.
