Shootings
It has been just six months since the closing night of the Route 91 Harvest festival, when 58 concertgoers were killed and hundreds more were injured by a sniper on the Strip. The grief is still fresh. The pain still pulses.
While the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority was celebrated for its role in the weeks immediately following the Oct. 1 shooting, that isn’t likely to be the case when it comes to memorializing the tragedy and building a permanent tribute to the victims and heroes.
The Columbine Memorial is a small, paved park with a water feature near the entrance and, in the center, a circle of plaques names each victim.

Friends and family shared memories of 18-year-old Zach Ragusa during a vigil Saturday night outside the Terrible’s Car Wash Lube in Henderson, just one day after he was killed in a shooting Friday morning.
Before the start of the final regular-season home game at T-Mobile Arena against the San Jose Sharks, the Golden Knights unveiled a black and gold banner that honored the 58 victims of the Oct. 1 Strip shooting.
