Las Vegas, Nevada Police Department report 20 people killed and over 100 more injured by a lone wolf gunman who fired into a Country Music Festival Concert being held across the street from Mandalay Bay Casino on Sunday, October 1, 2017.  The shooter was located by police on the 32nd Floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

There are conflicting reports that the shooter was killed by police at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and that the shooter may still be alive locked inside a hotel room.  Police are looking for a female companion of the shooter.

At the time that the shooting commenced, Country singer Jason Aldean and his band were playing.  Aldean has posted on Instagram that he and his band members are safe.  But spectators report hearing like fire works before realizing they were being fired upon by a shooter and then people began dropping after being hit by the lone wolf gunman.

Two off-duty police officers attending the Country Music Concert were shot and killed by the shooter among the 20 people killed.

The death toll and number of injured may rise as the Las Vegas Police Department and Clark County Sheriff’s Department continue the investigation and Las Vegas hospitals treat the wounded.  Many of the injured are critical and in trauma conditions.
