The Raiders made the official announcement of the move earlier this year. The Raiders moved to Oakland from Los Angeles in 1995. The Raiders appeared in one Super Bowl but did not win during their stay in Oakland.
Many people today woke up to see the news of the tragedy that has occurred in Las Vegas. Over 50 people have been killed and hundreds more hospitalized. The shooting occurred late last night during a concert. Country music star Jason Aldean was on the stage when the shots began to ring out.
