Las Vegas shooting

At least 59 people have been killed and another 527 injured in a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert.

A gunman, named as 64-year-old Nevada resident Stephen Paddock, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel towards an open-air music festival attended by 22,000.

He killed himself as police stormed the room where 10 guns were found.

Las Vegas attack: What we still don't know

Las Vegas police have chased "more than 1,000 leads" in their quest to establish a motive for why a gunman killed 58 people at a music festival.

Survivors are still reeling five days after Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire from his hotel room on the crowd below before turning the gun on himself.

The attack is considered the deadliest mass shooting in recent US history.

Police said they have "looked at everything" but have yet to determine why Paddock went on a shooting rampage.

"We have looked at everything, literally, to include the suspect's personal life, any political affiliation, his social behaviours, economic situation, and any potential radicalisation that so many have claimed," said Kevin McMahill,

"We all want answers," he told reporters on Friday. But as police continue to piece together the clues left behind by the elusive gunman, several questions remain unanswered, including why the wealthy, retired accountant carried out such a horrible act.
