A mass shooting took place last night at a music festival in Las Vegas.

According to the Daily Mail:

America is reeling from the worst mass shooting in its history after at least 50 people were killed and more than 200 wounded at a country music festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night. 

The shooting broke out on the final night of the three-day Route 91 Harvest festival, a sold-out event attended by thousands and featuring top acts such as Eric Church, Sam Hunt and Jason Aldean.  

Police say the shooter was 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, a resident of nearby Mesquite, Nevada, who opened fire on the  festival taking place at Las Vegas Village from a room across the street in the Mandalay Bay Hotel shortly after 10pm. 

Officers say Paddock was shot and killed after they breached a room in the hotel, where he had stashed an 'arsenal' of weapons used during the massacre.

In the video below, the gunshots came in rapid succession as from a machine gun, which is illegal for people to possess.
