US police have confirmed they are responding to “reports of an active shooter” outside a casino in Las Vegas with unconfirmed reports of multiple casualties.
The Route 91 Harvest country music festival is being held outside The Mandalay Casino, on the southern end of the Vegas strip, where the reported gunman has opened fire.
In a video posted to Twitter below what appears to be rapid-fire gunshots can be heard, with a performer halting mid-song and people heard saying “get down” before a second round of gunfire and screams.
