"We got out and saw a man who told us their campsite had been destroyed by someone or something," said Ms Durand, 22. Asked if she was scared, the Western Kentucky University student told CNN: "I was mostly just concerned about him shooting the gun in the middle of the night without him really seeing anything.” The couple called 911 and decided to hike the five miles back to their car without staying the night, she added.
