Sisolak, who said he started the fund with Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, said in a tweet he had pledged the first $10,000.
The fund will be used to provide relief and financial support to the victims and families of Sunday night’s shooting, which claimed the lives of 59 people and left 527 more injured when a gunman perched on the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas Strip casino started firing on concert-goers at an outdoor country music festival below.
It’s considered the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.
