President Trump called the Las Vegas attack an "act of pure evil" in an address Monday morning, and confirmed that he would be traveling to the city to visit first responders, victims, and families on Wednesday.
"Scripture teaches us that the Lord is close to those who are brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit," Trump said, adding that "our unity cannot be shattered by evil, our bonds cannot be broken by violence."
