A somber ceremony was held this morning to remember the lives lost during the mass shooting in Las Vegas that took place exactly one year ago.
Several hundred people including survivors, families of victims, first responders and elected officials gathered for the sunrise event that honored the 58 people who were killed and the hundreds wounded.
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the crowd the tragedy brought the community together and made it stronger.
Lombardo1: “There are two choices. To give up or lift others up. We chose the latter. This morning should also be a reminder to ourselves to strengthen our commitment to never let this happen again and to stay vigilant. Today we are not just Vegas Strong. We are Vegas Stronger.”
Governor Brian Sandoval also spoke at the event as well as Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak.
