Atleast 50 killed and hundreds of people injured in the worst mass shooting in Vegas. A gunman opened fire into an outdoor country music festival from the 32nd floor of Las Vegas Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on Sunday night.
Revelers screamed and fled in panic as a steady stream of automatic gunfire rang out at the venue shortly after 10:00 pm local time (0500 GMT Monday), footage captured on smart phones showed.
Two of those killed are believed to be off-duty police officers, said Las Vegas Metro Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told an early morning press conference.
“We heard what sounded like firecrackers going off. Then all of a sudden we heard what sounded like a machine gun. People started screaming that they were hit… When we started running out there were probably a couple hundred [people] on the ground,” she told MSNBC.
