Las Vegas Marks 2 Years Since Mass Shooting that Killed 58

Associated Press

   LAS VEGAS - From a sunrise event to a reading of victims' names at the
   time the bullets flew, Las Vegas on Tuesday was marking two years since
   the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, with memorials to
   the 58 people killed at a country music festival.
   "No anniversary is more terrible than the one that recalls how your
   neighbors and guests were so wantonly slain, even while their hearts
   were singing out in joy as they listened to music with their friends
   and loved ones," Joe Robbins said.
   The father of 20-year-old Quinton Robbins told a daybreak audience of
   hundreds about his son, a city recreation worker who died when a gunman
   rained gunfire from a high-rise hotel into a crowd of 22,000 on Oct. 1,
   2017.
