President Trump honored the victims of Sunday night’s shooting at a country music festival in Las Vegas during his weekly address and praised the first responders and fellow concert-goers who sprang into action to assist others during the shooting.

Strangers rescued strangers, police officers and first responders rushed into danger,” Trump said Friday. “When the worst of humanity strikes, the best of humanity responds.”
