The Daily Mail reports:

At least one active shooter has been reported on the Las Vegas Strip after an unknown gunman reportedly opened fire on crowds from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Hotel.

Victims were also reported at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival, which was occurring just over the road from Mandalay Bay.

It is currently unclear whether the violence has been caused by multiple shooters, or a single gunman.

Dozens were seen on aerial footage fleeing the Mandalay Bay, which was reportedly on lockdown. SWAT teams in armored cars were seen driving up to the hotel.

The LVMPD tweeted: ‘Please avoid heading to the south end of the Strip. Las Vegas Blvd is shut down at Tropicana, southbound past Russell Rd at this time.’

One suspect has been found dead on the 32nd floor, a police source told CNN; another said that there were multiple active shooters – but neither has yet been confirmed.
