At least 58 people were reported dead after a gunman opened fire on a crowd of at least 22k attending a concert in Las Vegas, making this the deadliest mass shooting in US history, Reuters reports. Pensioner Stephen Paddock sprayed the crowd with machine gun fire from his hotel balcony and was later found dead in his hotel room; there were conflicting reports on whether he turned his gun on himself or was killed by police. Daeshbags have claimed the attack as their own, but investigators so far appear to believe the gunman acted alone as they have yet to find any evidence to suggest otherwise. The Egyptian government condemned the shooting in an official statement.
