'It was an act of pure evil': Watch Trump's statement about the Las Vegas shooting - the deadliest shooting in modern US history

President Trump condemned the mass shooting in Las Vegas and offered his condolences to victims and families.

At least 50 people were killed and more than 400 were injured Sunday night in Las Vegas in the deadliest shooting in modern US history.

A gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, aiming into a tightly packed crowd of thousands below who were attending a country music festival.

The shooter, armed with what appeared to be at least one automatic weapon, used the elevated vantage point to fire into the crowds across the Las Vegas Strip at the Route 91 Harvest festival, where Jason Aldean was onstage.
