The memories are painful. It’s four years since a madman/gunman with guns and bullets killed 58 people and injured 500 others in this country’s worst mass shooting.

It was Oct. 1, 2017 on the Strip at a country music festival being held outdoors on a Sunday night.

Today in Las Vegas, we stop and pay our respects.

There was a sunrise ceremony at the Clark County government center to remember the 58 people killed at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Two others who were wounded Oct. 1 have since died.

Oct. 1 will always be interwoven into the legacy of the Vegas Golden Knights, which played their first ever regular season home game only nine days after Oct. 1.

The Golden Knights are holding a blood drive at its team base in Summerlin at City National Arena to remember Oct. 1

LVSportsBiz.com will be at tonight’s Golden Knights vs Los Angeles Kings exhibition game at T-Mobile Arena where this painful anniversary will also be remembered.
