Los Angeles Times quoted a University Medical Center spokeswoman Danita Cohen as saying that the hospital is still evaluating the condition of “many patients” with gunshot wounds in the wake of the shooting.
It was gathered that police were establishing a command post and triage center, and have shut down parts of the Strip.
“We’re investigating reports of an active shooter near/around Mandalay Bay Casino. Asking everyone to please avoid the area,” the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police said on Twitter.
Concertgoers at a Route 91 Harvest country music festival performance reported a burst of weapons fire as the concert was underway. The shots appeared to be coming from an upper floor of the hotel, some witnesses said.
