Up to 50 feared dead in Las Vegas concert shooting

– ‘Beyond horrific’ –

It was the deadliest shooting in the United States since 49 people were killed at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida in June 2016.

It was also the latest in a series of recent deadly attacks at concert venues.

Twenty-two people were killed while leaving a concert in the northern English city of Manchester in May when a suicide bomber detonated a nail bomb in the foyer.

Ninety people were killed in November 2015 at the Bataclan venue in Paris during a concert by the US band the Eagles of Death Metal.

Lombardo would not release the gunman’s name, but told reporters that he has been identified and is a local resident.

The sheriff however issued an appeal for information about his female traveling companion, identified as Marilou Danley.

“We have not located her at this time and we are interested in talking to her for follow-up,” Lombardo said.

“We are pretty confident there is no longer a threat other than we are attempting to locate the person of interest.

“It’s on ongoing investigation. Right now, we believe he is the sole aggressor at this point.”

A shocked Aldean told his fans via Instagram that he and his band was safe.

“Tonight has been beyond horrific,” the singer wrote.

“I still dont know what to say … My Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight.

“It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night.”
