Las Vegas mass shooting survivors clap for police
 
Las Vegas mass shooting survivors clap for police

Hundreds of survivors and witnesses to the Las Vegas mass shooting broke into applause when police officers entered the Tropicana resort on the Strip.

A police sergeant estimated that around 1,500 people were sheltered in the building’s halls at the time, around 2 a.m. on Oct. 2, 2017. Many of them were draped in white blankets.

The moment was captured on a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer’s body camera.

Seventeen minutes later, the officer picked up a bullhorn and thanked the crowd for their response.

“I’m terribly sorry about tonight,” he said. “We have no control over the actions of evil people, but we’re here now…. Thank you so much for coming to our city. We’re sorry this happened. We hope you can come back some day and enjoy a great weekend.”

Several people shouted “thank you” as the crowd applauded again.

About 200 North Las Vegas middle and high school students are set to join forces this weekend to perform at the free Notes of Autumn musical talent showcase.
“My favorite part about this was learning new music,” said 17-year-old Jaron Goddard, a senior at Legacy High School. “We’ve been preparing since the middle of August, and I feel we’re doing very well … I’m excited to play with all of the other schools that are there and show them what we can do.”
Legacy’s band is one of 14 that are set to perform. Students from Canyon Springs, Shadow Ridge, Cheyenne and more practiced for about a month for the inaugural showcase.
