On Sunday, Oct. 1, Las Vegas endured the deadliest shooting in U.S. history. Stephen Paddock opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest Festival from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, taking the lives of over 50 people and injuring hundreds more.
The city famed for its Blackjack and neon lights is also considered home to The Killers, who have always taken pride in the city from which they hail. Following the shooting, the band, who recently released a new album, Wonderful Wonderful, tweeted a brief message of solidarity:
We’ve got heavy hearts. We love you, Las Vegas.
