The death toll from the tragedy in Las Vegas is up to 59 and the number of people injured is 527.
Many people are getting online to find ways to help the victims. But beware of scammers. Con artists show up sadly following each tragedy looking to take advantage. If you're going to help the victims in Las Vegas, be sure your donation is going right to them.
There are several fundraisers set up on various crowdfunding sites like GoFundMe. But Las Vegas officials have set up just one official verified GoFundme to help the victims. So far more than $2 million has been raised.

Steve Sisolak, Clark County Commission Chair from Las Vegas says the money will be used to provide relief and financial support to the victims and families of the mass shooting.
Another way to help shooting victims nationwide is to donate blood regardless of whether you live near Las Vegas or not. Blood donations help medical professionals treat shooting victims. Contact the American Red Cross to learn more. Website: http://www.redcross.org/give-blood
The Sheriff and I have set up an account to aid survivors and their families. I've pledged the first $10K. https://t.co/UMcQtZLgmr
