Today, on the third year anniversary of the 1 October Las Vegas Shooting, Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV) reflected on the tragedy and honored the 58 innocent people who lost their lives and hundreds more injured at the Route 91 Music Festival on October 1, 2017. Three years ago today, the Las Vegas community endured a tragedy unlike any other ever witnessed in our nation. The 1 October shooting is a devastating part of Nevada's history and many are still grappling with the tremendous toll it took on our city. Today, we take a moment to remember the victims and their loved ones. We also thank all of the courageous first responders who did everything in their power to help our community heal. said Congressman Horsford. It has now been 582 days since I voted alongside my colleagues in the House to pass H.R. 8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act, common sense legislation that would save countless lives. Already this year, our country has seen more than 12,000 gun violence deaths and more than 425 mass shootings. Now is the time for the Senate to act and pass this measure because every day that passes, more lives are at stake. In this moment of reflection, I urge the Senate to act so that Nevadans and all Americans never face the same horror and grief of 1 October and finally put an end to the cycle of senseless gun violence. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
