Las Vegas mass shooting: Deadliest US massacre
People scramble for shelter at a country music festival after the shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
A 64-year-old man armed with more than 10 rifles rained down gunfire on a Las Vegas country music festival on Sunday, slaughtering at least 58 people in the largest mass shooting in US history before killing himself.
The barrage from a 32nd-floor window in the Mandalay Bay hotel into a crowd of 22,000 people lasted several minutes, causing panic. Some fleeing fans trampled each other as police scrambled to find the gunman. Police identified the gunman as Stephen Paddock, who lived in a retirement community in Mesquite, Nevada, and said they had no sense of what prompted his attack.
His female companion Marilou Danley, 62, was initially listed as a person of interest by police but they said later she was not believed to be involved.
The Daesh group said the gunman was "a soldier" from its ranks who had converted to Islam months ago. However, the FBI said the shooter had no connection to the international terrorist group.
President Trump denounced what he called "an act of pure evil" and said he would visit Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
