At least 58 were killed and hundreds injured in the shooting at a country music concert outside the Mandalay Bay casino and resort on the Last Vegas Strip late Sunday night, making it the worst mass shooting in the United States in modern history. Trump said he had directed that flags be flown at half-staff in the memory of the dead and that he would travel to Las Vegas Wednesday to meet with law enforcement and victims of the attack and their families.
