Las Vegas asks for cards to help city heal
LAS VEGAS, NV - OCTOBER 03: A close-up photo of the marquee at Wynn Las Vegas shows part of a message in response to Sunday night's mass shooting at a music festival on October 3, 2017 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Hotel-casinos all along the Las Vegas Strip replaced their usual flashy marquee advertisements with the same message of condolence as a show of strength in reaction to the violence. Late Sunday night, a lone gunman killed at least 59 people and injured more than 500 after he opened fire on a large crowd at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival. The massacre is one of the deadliest mass shooting events in U.S. history. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
The city of Las Vegas is asking for cards to share with its community.
"Our hearts are broken," the city said in a post on its website and Twitter page. "Help Las Vegas heal. Send a heartfelt message to our city."
The request comes after a gunman shot into crowds near Mandalay Bay Casino on the Strip from a high-rise hotel. Many were at the Route 91 Harvest music festival.
