LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — It has been six years since the 1 October tragedy and KTNV is remembering with you.
We will have live coverage as we pay tribute to those who lost their lives, those who survived, and the first responders who served with bravery.
That begins with the Sunrise Remembrance Ceremony on Sunday at 7:30 a.m. at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater in Downtown Las Vegas.
The event will feature live music from country music singer Pat Dalton, who is a 1 October survivor. He is scheduled to sing his song "Forever Family" and "Amazing Grace". The National Anthem will be performed by the Academy Singers from the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts. There will also be a moment of silence for those lost that night as well as remarks from Gov. Joe Lombardo, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, Clark County Commission Chairman Jim Gibson and Steve Gomez, the father of Angela "Angie" Gomez who was one of the 58 people who died on 1 October.
On Sunday night, the City of Las Vegas is also hosting a 1 October Remembrance Ceremony at the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden. Mayor Carolyn Goodman and City of Las Vegas Communications Director David Riggleman will read the names of the lives lost. A bell will toll, and a candle will be lit in remembrance of each person lost.
