LAS VEGAS, NV (WBTW) – A county commission chair and the sheriff for Clark County, Nevada have set up an official fundraising page to help survivors and their families after a mass shooting this weekend.
A tweet from Steve Sisolak, Clark County Commission Chair, states that he and Sheriff Joe Lombardo set up the special page around 9 a.m. Monday morning.
The commission chair and gubernatorial hopeful also pledged the first $10,000.
On Sisolak’s website, he says he and the sheriff spent the night at the county’s only level-one trauma center Sunday evening.
According to News13 sister station KLAS in Las Vegas, the initial $100,000 fundraising goal was met by 11 a.m. Over the course of the day, the goal was changed to $500,000, but six hours after the page launched, people have donated more than $950,000 and the goal was adjusted to a whopping $2 million.
At 4 p.m., the campaign had over 50,000 shares on social media.
