The victims of this senseless act of violence, their families and friends will forever be in our hearts and prayers” Gov. Sisolak said. “The outpouring of love, kindness, and support locally, statewide, nationally, and worldwide will never be forgotten. Because of this support and the endurance of those in our community to protect one another and to heal together, we will forever be ‘Vegas Strong.’”
