A gunman has shot dead at least 50 people and and injured more
than 200 at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
Police say the shooter was 64-year-old Stephen Paddock,
described as a local man, who opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest Festival in
Las Vegas Village from a room across the street in the Mandalay Bay Hotel
shortly after 10pm.
Officers say Paddock was shot and killed after they
breached a room in the hotel, where he had stashed an 'arsenal' of weapons used
during the massacre.
Investigators are now raiding the Mesquite home he shared
with Marilou Danley, described as his 'companion' and a person of interest.
Police say they have located Danley, but didn't specify whether she was in
custody.
Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, of the Las Vegas Metropolitan
Police Department, said investigations are still ongoing and police have not
yet determined a motive.
President Donald Trump paid his respects on Monday morning
after the shooting, writing on Twitter: 'My warmest condolences and sympathies
to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!' daily mail
