The 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful spent a few minutes walking through the garden, where a few other visitors recognized him and shook his hand as he passed. He paused at several victims’ memorials to read the messages placed there.

Sanders’ visit was not shared publicly, and he did not speak to the media.

Sanders and nine other Democratic presidential candidates will participate in a forum discussing gun violence and safety on Wednesday. He is also holding community events in Las Vegas during the morning and evening.
