Las Vegas massacre: More weapons found, but no motive
Out thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families...The thought of the amount of hate that is in this world is just unfathomable.
The death toll as of last count is at 59 deceased and 527 injured. Las Vegas authorities are working two different scenes in attempt to discover the motive behind the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Officers found 23 guns at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, with another 19 at the home of the shooter.
Last night, the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower In Paris dimmed their lights in honor of those that lost their lives during the massacre. The Empire State Building also displayed a rotating orange halo effect to promote gun violence prevention. Orange was chosen as its color because it is the hue hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others from gunfire.
Las Vegas is battling its grief by giving back. Local residents and reporters are tweeting photos of blood donors waiting in 6 hour long lines that stretch for blocks around blood donation centers. Also local authorities started a GoFundMe page that has raised over $2.8 million dollars that will go directly back to help the victims and families of Las Vegas.
