Now, the man shot is sharing his story for the first time.

Nathaniel Nagbe was staying at MGM National Harbor casino hotel on Aug. 12, 2020. The Gaithersburg resident said he won big playing blackjack and wanted to party.

“I won $60,000 that day. I showed it off to a few of my friends, I invited a few people there,” Nagbe recalled.
