Remembering 1 October
To mark 8 years since the Las Vegas shooting tragedy, Clark County and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department will co-host a Sunrise Remembrance ceremony at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 1 at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater in downtown Las Vegas.
The event will feature the Southern Nevada Multiagency Honor Guard, a minute of silence for those lost at the October 1, 2017, shooting on the Las Vegas Strip, and remarks from Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, Clark County Commission Chairman Tick Segerblom and Jeff Poole of Simi Valley, Calif. Jeff's daughter, Keri Lynn Galvan was one of the 58 who perished in the immediate aftermath of the attack (two others later passed away from their injuries).
The ceremony also will feature an acoustic performance of a song called “The Fight” by Bryan Hopkins, lead singer of Elvis Monroe, and a survivor of the tragedy that occurred at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Attendees may wish to bring lawn chairs since limited seating will be available.
Clark County and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are co-hosting the event with the Clark County Fire Department and the local Resiliency & Justice Center.
The Sunrise Remembrance will air live on Clark County Television (CCTV) and possibly local news media television stations and websites. The ceremony will also be carried live on the County’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter channels.
