“To the families who lost loved ones, those who are injured, those who are waiting to hear from loved ones, all of the first responders and those who held out a hand to help another and provided safety and comfort for others, we will keep you in prayer during this time when strength and comfort is needed,” said AIGA Chairperson Bernadine Burnette.
ATGG Chairman Kasey Velasquez added, “We are horrified and saddened by these actions, as we as an entertainment community prioritize the safety and security of our guests above all else. This is a challenging time for Las Vegas, the state of Nevada and our Nation, and we will continue to pray for all impacted as the journey of healing begins.”
