Steve Sisolak, the Clark County Commission Chair from Las Vegas, and the Clark County Sheriff have created a GoFundMe campaign for victims of the mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival .
By Monday afternoon, the fund had reached more than $100,000 of the $500,000 goal.
Just after 10 p.m. Sunday, a gunman fired into the crowd from the Mandalay Bay Resort Casino. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern history with more than 50 killed and more than 500 injured.
Officials identified 64-year-old Stephen Paddock as the shooter. Paddock was found dead.
Sisolak said the funds would be used provide relief and financial support to the victims of the shooting.
He created the Go Fund Me account while he was on-site at Clark County's only level-one trauma center with the victims and their families, he said.
Sisolak, a candidate for Nevada Governor, has also taken to social media with requests for blood donations for victims.
