The country is absolutely shaken as details continue to unfold about the horrific shooting at the Route 91 Music Festival in Las Vegas on Oct. 1. Stephen Paddock opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel around 10:08 p.m., right in the middle of Jason Aldean’s
performance below. More than 50 people are confirmed dead, and more
than 400 have been sent to the hospital with injuries after the tragic
shooting. Officials finally located Stephen
in his room at Mandalay Bay, but he was dead by the time they got
there, the Las Vegas Police Department confirmed in a press release.
Stephen had been staying in the hotel since Sept. 28. In the aftermath

22,000 people were in attendance at the music festival when this tragedy
unfolded, and terrifying videos from the scene show concertgoers
fleeing in terror as repetitive gunshots are going off in the
background. Jake Owen, who performed earlier in the
evening, watched the chaos erupt, and recalled the terror he felt. “It
literally was like a movie you’ve seen before that’s not real life,” he said, adding, “It wasn’t something that just was quick. It was chaos for a pure 7-10 minutes.”
