Beverly Hills Mourns With All Affected by Las Vegas Shooting
Beverly Hills, California - The City of Beverly Hills stands united with the victims, their families and the City of Las Vegas as they recover from the horrible shooting Sunday night, in which dozens of innocent people died and hundreds more were wounded.
“There are no words that can convey the depth of our sorrow over what happened in Las Vegas,” said Mayor Lili Bosse. “We are with the victims and their families as we seek to make sense of why tragic and senseless violence occurred, yet again, in our nation.”
The Beverly Hills City Council places the highest priority on planning for every type of emergency, including active shooter situations. Mass causality training exercises have been conducted in the City and will continue in the future. In addition, the Beverly Hills public safety staff has trained and completed exercises on its unified response to mass causality incidents.
