It was Quinton Robbins’ desire to help others and his love of sports that led his parents to establish the nonprofit Playitforward.
Shootings
Several events are scheduled for Sunday, which marks the sixth anniversary of the Route 91 Harvest festival shooting.
Like other proposals, the chosen design emphasizes 58 of the victims, rather than all 60 who died as a result of their gunshot wounds.
All property owned by Stephen Paddock, who killed dozens of Las Vegas concertgoers in 2017, has been sold and all of his guns were destroyed or taken out of circulation by the FBI.
Handwritten letters sent to Paddock before the Route 91 Harvest festival shooting suggest that he had discussed his plans with an ex-convict.
One gambler told the FBI that Stephen Paddock, who opened fire on concertgoers on Oct. 1, 2017, killing 60, was “very upset at the way casinos were treating him.”
Politicians, survivors and victims’ families gathered together to shed tears and share hugs on the fifth anniversary of the mass shooting, which killed 60 and injured hundreds.
After the mass shooting in Las Vegas, bump stocks were banned by federal regulation. But that rule is under challenge, and bump stocks could be legal once more.
Las Vegas police and the news organization agreed to end a dispute over the legal costs of gaining access to records from the Oct. 1, 2017, mass shooting.
Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman helped honor the victims of the 2017 Route 91 Harvest festival shooting by reading their names aloud during a ceremony Friday night.
The fourth annual 1 October Sunrise Remembrance ceremony was held on Friday at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater in downtown Las Vegas.
On the same day that the latest 1 October Memorial Committee’s survey results were released, country music star Jason Aldean announced on his Instagram that his security guard, Ryan Fleming, has died.
“I think it demonstrates as much as anything does that their heart is where it ought to be as we work on this,” Clark County Commissioner Jim Gibson said of MGM Resorts International.
“Now I don’t have this weird feeling of being in limbo, wondering where my family fits in all of this,” said the daughter of the 59th victim.
The Las Vegas resident is the second Route 91 Harvest festival shooting survivor to die in less than a year, yet the massacre’s official death toll will remain unchanged.
