so the matter of formality, our department worked through the night to identify all the victims of sunday evening's mass shooting at the route 91 harvest festival. we have identified all but three victims. we still have an active scene at the grounds near mandalay bay so we ask anyone to stay away from that area until further notice. the f.b.i. is working diligently to clear that scene. so the question is, the f.b.i. versus us. we have partnered with the f.b.i. as i said from the very beginning of this in the investigative phase. the f.b.i. has brought a large amount of resources out of washington, d.c., to assist us with that. so the reason why the harvest festival is still in continuation of investigation is not only solely related to the removal of the vents but also doc
4:22 pm
of the victims but also documentation of the scene. that is why it is taking longer period of time associated with this. so we ask for everybody's patience. as far as las vegas boulevard north and south we anticipate to be open shortly. in the next few hours. to benefit with the commerce and what we do as a community. all right. the key component here is resources and victim identification. bear with me. i'm going to try to get through this best i can. but the important pieces if you missed a number, we are putting up on lbm p.d..com in the next hour the listing of all numbers i shall provide you today. and for people out in the public to contact us if they are looking this or they don't see this broadcast. we are asking for anyone who might have information about the shooting in a

capacity or as a victim of the shooting to contact us via 311. if you are out of state, if you have left since the shooting and you have discovered you feel that you have become a victim or you realize you have an injury associated to it, we are still asking you to contact us. but the out of state number is 702-828-3111. jonathan: i'll let you know, we are watching the news conference and waiting for any kernel of information over what we are hearing in the last few updates, which is the same information. we'll continue to monitor this and broadcast it live on newschannel8. but let's switch gears to get to steve rudin to find out what to expect as far as the weather goes. it feels like summer. steve: it is only going to get warmer through the next few days. even more humidity on the way. looking down route 50 now over arling
