Trump to Grant $1M to Help Las Vegas After Deadly Shooting

The grant comes from emergency response funds within the Bureau of Justice Assistance

President Donald Trump said the federal government is sending $1 million to Las Vegas to help pay law enforcement costs related to last week's mass killing.

Trump tweeted Wednesday that the grant will help pay for overtime logged by law enforcement officers after the gunman killed 58 people and injured hundreds more.

The grant comes from emergency response funds within the Bureau of Justice Assistance, according to the Justice Department.

The department said the grant recognizes the hard work and dedication of law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly in the wake of the attack.
