“Today is a somber day in America as we mourn those who lost their lives in last night’s massacre in Las Vegas. On behalf of the USHCC, I offer our prayers and condolences to those affected by these tragic events. While the exact motives behind this attack are still being investigated, it is important now more than ever that we remain united and hopeful for a better tomorrow.

Las Vegas is home to many of our country’s Hispanic business leaders and entrepreneurs that make the city and the United States great. We stand shoulder to shoulder with these individuals and all those in Las Vegas as they begin to rebuild, heal, and move forward in these tumultuous times.”
