History

Historical Context

The deadliest U.S. mass shooting occurred on Oct 1 2017 when Stephen Paddock fired over 1,000 rounds at the Route 91 Harvest festival in Las Vegas, killing 60 and wounding about 867. That attack prompted nationwide security reviews, a 2018 bump-stock ban and a 2024 Supreme Court reversal, shaping tighter venue security. Toledo officials cite that legacy while responding to the June 6 2024 Old West End Festival shooting that injured twelve.
