More than twenty people have been killed and at least 100 injured in a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert.<\/p>\n
A gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel toward an open-air music festival being held close by.<\/p>\n
Police said a suspect identified as a local resident, who was not named, had been shot and killed by officers.<\/p>\n
They said they were looking for a companion travelling with the suspect as a \u201cperson of interest\u201d.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of people fled the scene and the sound of what appeared to be prolonged automatic gunfire could be heard on videos posted on social media.<\/p>\n
There had been reports of other incidents at different locations along the Las Vegas strip, but police say they believe the dead suspect acted alone.<\/p>\n
A hospital spokeswoman said 14 of the wounded were in a critical condition.<\/p>\n
Witnesses reported that hundreds of shots were fired.<\/p>\n
Many hotels on the Las Vegas strip close to the scene remain on lockdown.<\/p>\n
Parts of Las Vegas Boulevard were shut as armed police arrived at the scene of the attack.<\/p>\n
People have been sheltering in hotels, restaurants and at Las Vegas McCarran airport.<\/p>\n
Some flights were diverted after news of the incident emerged.<\/p>\n
The country music festival had been taking place since Friday at several hotels on the Las Vegas strip.<\/p>\n
