60 dead, over 500 injured in Las Vegas Massacre

United States President Donald Trump has described the mass shooting in Las Vegas that led to the death of 60 people as “an act of pure evil.”

He offered words of praise for the courage and quick actions of first responders and sought to provide words of comfort for grieving families.

At least 60 were killed and hundreds injured in the shooting at a country music concert outside the Mandalay Bay casino and resort on the Last Vegas Strip late Sunday night.

It is the worst mass shooting in the United States in modern history. Trump directed that flags be flown at half-staff in the memory of the dead and that he would travel to Las Vegas tomorrow to meet with law enforcement and victims of the attack and their families.
