Joe Lombardo, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Sheriff Kevin McMahill, Clark County Commission Chairman Tick Segerblom and Jeff Poole of Simi Valley, Calif. Poole’s daughter, Keri Lynn Galvan, age 31 of Thousand Oaks, Calif., was one of the 58 who perished in the immediate aftermath of the attack (two others later passed away from their injuries).
The ceremony also will feature an acoustic performance of a song called “The Fight” by Bryan Hopkins, lead singer of Elvis Monroe, and a shooting.
