2 Dead, 24 Injured In Las Vegas Strip Shooting

At least two people are dead and 24 others are hospitalized in the wake of a mass shooting Sunday night at the Mandalay Bay hotel and resort on the Las Vegas Strip, a hospital spokeswoman confirmed.

University Medical Center spokeswoman Danita Cohen said the hospital is still evaluating the condition of “many patients” with gunshot wounds in the wake of the shooting.

Police were establishing a command post and triage centre, and have shut down parts of the Strip.

Concertgoers at a Route 91 Harvest country music festival performance reported a burst of weapons fire as the concert was underway.

The shots appeared to be coming from an upper floor of the hotel, some witnesses said.
