Las Vegas Shooting

A gunman opened fire on 22,000 Las Vegas concert attendees from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sunday, Oct. 1. At least 58 people were killed and more than 500 people were injured.

Police1 coverage of the Las Vegas active shooter spanned breaking news to recommendations on how police and communities can harden soft targets from active shooter attacks, why public safety agencies need to develop integrated response plans to acts of mass violence, best practices for event security, and perspectives from the Police1 advisory board on how the Route 91 Harvest festival shooting changed special event response.
