ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- A Rochester native living in Las Vegas vows to not give in to fear.

Alyse Mantisi moved to Vegas about a year ago, and lives less then two miles from the scene of the shooting.

Mantisi is a wedding consultant who refuses to leave her newly adopted home.

“I can’t do that, I mean I’m going to stay strong and remain living here and continue life," she said. "I know I can’t continue life as if it never happened, cause it definitely did. I don’t want people to always look at Vegas and think this is what happened on October first and be scared to come here because we can’t show fear, we have to keep showing that we are strong and we are united.“
