(Las Vegas, NV) — More than 20 people are dead and over 100 are injured following a mass shooting on the Vegas strip.
The shooting happened last night during a country music festival near the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. The gunman was later killed by police on the 32nd floor of the hotel. He’s being identified as a 64 year old local man by the name of Stephen Paddock.
During a press conference this morning Clark County Sheriff’s Department officials said they’re looking for “a companion” of the shooter’s named Marilou Danley. She’s been described as four-foot-eleven and Asian.
The mass shooting forced the closure of McCarran International Airport for a brief period. The airport is just east of the Mandalay hotel. There were reports of people at the concert trying to escape the gunfire by running onto an airport runway. The hotel was also virtually locked down following the shooting.
