Las Vegas concert-goers return to shooting site for vehicles

Raul Cubillos was happy to get behind the wheel of his Toyota Corolla again Wednesday afternoon.

The Las Vegas man was among hundreds of concert-goers at the Route 91 Harvest Festival who had to leave their vehicles behind and take cover Sunday night when Stephen Paddock opened fire on the crowd from the 32nd floor at Mandalay Bay.

“It was traumatizing to be here again,” Cubillos said shortly after retrieving his car.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police on Wednesday checked photo IDs of people who wanted to pick up vehicles that have remained parked at the Las Vegas Village since the shooting several days ago.

Some arrived wearing bandages on their arms and legs. Many declined to speak and sped past reporters gathered from across the country. Streams of yellow police tape kept reporters and curious onlookers at bay.

It was unclear how many vehicles were recovered by their owners, and how many remain parked.
