The world has woken up to terrifying news this morning, following a shooting at a music festival in Las Vegas.

 

More than 20 people have reportedly died, with 100 said to be wounded, after a shooter opened fire at the Route 91 festival at the Mandalay Bay Resort Casino.

 

The shooter is said to have begun firing from a balcony, down into the crowd of an estimated 40,000 music fans.

 

Survivors have described the sounds of gunfire as ‘like firecrackers’, and witnessed ‘bullets flying everywhere’ as they ran for cover.

 

 

While police initially believed that the shooter was acting alone, they have since appealed for information regarding an Asian woman named Marilou Danley.

 

The balcony shooter, a male, has been confirmed dead.

 

Police have also issued an appeal for information on two vehicles – a Hyundai Tucson and a Chrysler Pacifica – that they believe may be connected to the incident.

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by last night’s tragedy. We will keep you updated on the story as more information emerges.
