Sunday night’s Route 91 Harvest festival was well underway across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino when the shooting erupted, officials said. Concertgoers reported bursts of weapons fire from the hotel as country singer Jason Aldean performed.
Some of the accounts occurred moments after the shooting, when it appeared that there could be multiple shooters. Police have since said they believe there was only one gunman and that he is now dead.
Here are some of the witness account captured from the scene:
