LAS VEGAS -- Officials who are announcing a property return plan for concertgoers who fled gunfire at a Las Vegas music festival a week ago say more items will be made available in coming days for people who were in other areas of the venue.

Deputy Clark County Fire Chief John Steinbeck said Sunday that items are being returned first to people who were in and in front of the VIP tent and bleacher seating east of the stage at the Route 91 Harvest festival.

Officials say updates for people who left belongings in other areas of the festival grounds will be made public through news reports and on Twitter on ClarkCountyNV, LVMPD, FBILasVegas and with the hashtags #1October and #VegasStrong.

FBI spokeswoman Sandra Breault says officials aren't answering any questions right now about the investigation itself.

She says people unclear about where their possessions may have been left might want to wait until all items have been catalogued and are made available for pickup.
