A GoFundMe started by Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak to assist the victims of Sunday night's mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival has brought in millions to help the victims and their families.

By Monday evening, 11 hours after the fundraiser started, more than 27,000 people had donated slightly more than $2 million, nearing the goal of $2.5 million. Sisolak said the money will be used to "provide relief and financial support to the victims and families of the horrific Las Vegas mass shooting." which left at least 59 dead and more than 500 wounded.
