Las Vegas Strip Will Go Dark to Mark One Year Since Mass Shooting
Source: The Daily Beast
The iconic Las Vegas Strip will go dark Monday night to mark a year since a mass shooting that killed 58 people and injured over 400. Gunman Stephen Paddock fired more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition at a country music festival crowd from his high-rise hotel room exactly a year ago. The Strip will go dark at 10:01 p.m.—the time of the shooting—and elsewhere the police department will host a remembrance ceremony, a prayer vigil will be held at City Hall, a new memorial wall will be dedicated, and a reading of the names of victims will take place at the Community Healing Garden site. Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval said: “The people of Nevada will never forget this tragic day, and hold the victims of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival in their thoughts and prayers.”
