Almost 60 people have died and more than 500 injured in a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert on Sunday night.

Gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel toward an open-air country music festival being held close by.

The shooting – the worst in modern US history – has sparked debate over US gun laws, but President Donald Trump has said the discussion over what, if anything, needs to be done was "not for now".
