In the deadliest shooting massacre in U.S. history, more than 50 people were dead and over 200 were injured after a gunman opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival near the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday night. (CNBC) *Police said the shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock from Mesquite, Nevada, was shooting from a hotel room on the 32nd floor at the Mandalay Bay. Authorities said they stormed the room and killed Paddock. *Marilou Danley, described by authorities as Paddock's roommate and a person of interest, has been located. Earlier rumors of a second shooter were false, police said. *Country singer Jason Aldean was on stage when the shooting started around 10 p.m. local time (1 a.m. ET). *The White House released a statement this morning: "The president has been briefed on the horrific tragedy in Las Vegas. We are monitoring the situation closely and offer our full support to state and local officials. All of those affected are in our thoughts and prayers." Shortly after this morning, Trump tweeted his condolences.
*Jim Murren, chairman and CEO of MGM Resorts, which owns the Mandalay Bay, said in a statement: "Our hearts and prayers go out to the victims of last night's shooting, their families, and those still fighting for their lives. We are working with law enforcement and will continue to do all we can to help all of those involved."
