During CNNs New Day program, Taylor Benge recounted his survival story at Sunday nights shooting, which killed 59 people and left more than 500 people injured.
Benge said his sister jumped on top of him to protect her brother. The two siblings eventually escaped the onslaught.
My sister and I, we started running to the left and every time they shot, we took cover, Taylor Benge told CNN. My sister, being as noble as she, she actually threw herself on top of me and was saying, I love you Taylor, I love you. And Ill never forget that.
Binge said the moment changed his belief in God.
I know I cant speak for everyone, but for me I was agnostic going into that concert, and Im a firm believer in God now, cause theres no way that all that happened, and that I made it, and I was blessed enough to still be here alive talking to you today, he said.
