Police, first responders, families of victims and officials in Las Vegas on Tuesday (October 1) marked the second anniversary of the city's deadly mass shooting that left 58 people dead.
Gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, fired over 1,100 rounds from his 32nd-floor suite at the Mandalay Bay into a crowd of 22,000 people at an outdoor country music festival on Oct. 1, 2017, in the massacre that also wounded over 800 people. He then killed himself before police stormed his room.
Country singer Jason Aldean, who was performing at the Route 91 Harvest festival when Paddock opened fire on the crowd, posted an image of a historic Las Vegas street sign and the emblem for the Route 91 festival. "This will always be a tough day for us. Not a day goes by that we don't think about our @Route91Harvest family."
An investigation into the shooting concluded in August 2018 without discovering a motivation for the shooting. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
