“A Mass Shooting On Las Vegas Strip”

A gunman who fired upon thousands of people attending a music festival Sunday on the Las Vegas Strip has killed more than 50 people and wounded more than 200, police say. The suspect in the case is also dead. The violence at the Route 91 Harvest Festival concert was reported around 10:08 p.m. It was later added that the shooter, acting as a "lone wolf," has been identified as Stephen Paddock, 64, a resident of the Las Vegas area. The violence is now being called the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, and the tragic death toll seems likely to rise. Little is known about the suspected gunman. And the question of why has yet to be answered. Officers confronted the suspect on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino and a SWAT team used an explosive to breach the room. Multiple weapons were found in the room; but not identified other than to call them rifles. The mass shooting prompted panic and a lockdown at hotels along the Strip that remains in effect.
