A Man Planted A Cross For Each Las Vegas Shooting Victim As Part Of A Moving Tribute

A man reportedly drove from Chicago to set up 58 crosses on the south end of the Las Vegas Strip, one for each of the victims who died Sunday night's mass shooting.

The crosses were lined up along the city's famous strip, with Mandalay Bay hotel, from where Paddock unleash his hail of bullets, in the background.

Local news reported that the man who brought the crosses, Greg Zanis, drove from Aurora, Illinois.

He wrote a victim's name on every cross, and he brought Stars of David for Jewish victims.

“This row of crosses will show the severity of what really happened there, more so than numbers and pictures in the paper,” he told TV station.
