A witness described the scene as “bullets flying everywhere.”
“It was really, really bad. We were the furthest VIP stages away from Mandalay Bay and they (the bullets) were ricocheting everywhere where we fear. They were firing from somewhere high and they were unloading clip after clip after clip. Multiple shooters, has to be.”

This chilling video shows the moment a shooter opened fire on a crowd at Route 91 – the crowd was clearly confused as to the source and identity of the sounds. The stage became quiet and no announcement was made to the crowd.
