11:05 a.m.
Survivors of last year's mass shooting in Las Vegas are reuniting this weekend ahead of the anniversary of the tragedy.
About 3,500 people are expected at a private gathering Saturday in the Las Vegas area that will include several performances and vendors. Some of the vendors had booths at the outdoor country music festival where 58 people were killed Oct. 1, 2017.
Counseling services and therapy dogs will be available at the all-day event at a park.
Co-organizer Shawna Bartlett says the gathering is an effort to "take back" what was taken from people at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
