The attack unfolded as thousands of concertgoers gathered for the country-music festival. Gunfire erupted from an upper floor of the Mandalay Bay, sending crowds fleeing in multiple directions as emergency responders rushed to the scene.
Hospitals across the Las Vegas area received large numbers of wounded victims, while police and emergency personnel worked through the night to secure the area and assist survivors.
The tragedy became one of the most consequential mass shootings in modern U.S. history, leaving families, survivors and the wider Las Vegas community dealing with its aftermath for years.
As for the claim of “66 dead and 158 injured,” those figures should not be presented as confirmed without a credible current source. The available records I found do not substantiate that casualty count.
