At least 58 people have been killed and hundreds injured in a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert.<\/p>\n
A gunman, named as 64-year-old Nevada resident Stephen Paddock, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel towards an open-air music festival attended by 22,000.<\/p>\n
He killed himself as police stormed the room where 10 guns were found.<\/p>\n
In an address from the White House, President Donald Trump described the attack as \u201cpure evil\u201d.<\/p>\n
He praised the efforts of the emergency services, saying their \u201cmiraculous\u201d speed saved lives, and announced he would be visiting Las Vegas on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
The attack is the worst mass shooting in recent US history.<\/p>\n
Paddock\u2019s motives remain unclear. Las Vegas Sheriff Joe Lombardo described the shooting as a \u201clone wolf\u201d attack.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have no idea what his belief system was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
So-called Islamic State later claimed to be behind the attack, saying that Paddock had converted to Islam some months ago.<\/p>\n
But the group provided no evidence for this and has made unsubstantiated claims in the past.<\/p>\n
The FBI says it has made no connection between the attack and any international terrorist group.<\/p>\n
