Multiple people have been shot after a gunman opened fire in the Mandalay Bay area of Las Vegas.
Video from the scene shows the moment that the gunfire started during a festival in the city in Nevada.
What sounds like some kind of machine gun can be heard over the noise of the music which quickly cuts out. It is believed that the gunman may have opened fire from a building overlooking the festival site.
He opened fire at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival where people were seen running for cover or lying on the ground.

Woh the shooter dude might possibly have gone bonkers big time.
WASHINGTON — Marilou Danley, the woman investigators hoped would provide key details into the motive behind her boyfriend's deadly shooting attack, said she remembers him exhibiting symptoms such as lying in bed and moaning, according to two former FBI officials who have been briefed on the matter.
Investigators believe Stephen Paddock, who claimed nearly 60 lives and injured hundreds more in Las Vegas on Sunday, may have been in physical or mental anguish, the sources said.

Sheeesh seriously, does this even matter??? The attention should focus on the motives of the shooter, and not whether he was getting into the panties of an ugly granny!
Hang on................why did he say he was paying for her? That Pinay midget he hung out with was a whore?
Las Vegas shooting: Gunman Stephen Paddock 'notorious for abusing girlfriend in public'
Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock was notorious for verbally abusing his girlfriend in public, according to coffee shop staff who served the couple.
The 64-year-old, an avid gambler, was described as "rude" and "mean" by baristas at a casino Starbucks he would often visit with partner Marilou Danley in their hometown of Mesquite, Nevada.
Filipino Ms Danley, 62, was holidaying in her home country when Paddock killed at least 59 people and injured 527 by shooting at crowds at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.
She has since returned to the US and was met by FBI agents at an airport in Los Angeles, where she is said to be co-operating with investigators.
Workers at the Starbucks inside Mesquite's Virgin River Casino remembered Paddock frequently berating his girlfriend.
The abuse came when Ms Danley asked to use Paddock's casino card - loaded with credits won by gambling on electronic machines - to pay for their coffee.
“It happened a lot,” supervisor Esperanza Mendoza told the Los Angeles Times.
She added: “He would glare down at her and say — with a mean attitude — ‘You don’t need my casino card for this. I’m paying for your drink, just like I’m paying for you.’ Then she would softly say, ‘OK’ and step back behind him. He was so rude to her in front of us.”
The couple always placed the same order, with Paddock drinking a large mocha cappuccino and Ms Danley a medium caramel macchiato.
She stood only elbow-high to her partner, said staff.
“He looked like he never slept because of the large bags under his eyes,” added Ms Mendoza.
Another barista described Paddock as quiet and "in his own world". He appeared "rude" and would not allow his partner order for herself, the employee said.
"He didn't let her talk," they added.

Las Vegas Shooting Live Updates: Multiple Weapons Found in Gunman’s Hotel Room
The police found an arsenal in the gunman’s hotel room.
At least 23 firearms, including a handgun, were found in Mr. Paddock’s hotel suite, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Some were rifles equipped with scopes, said Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Police Department, adding that Mr. Paddock used multiple rifles during the attack.
Sheriff Lombardo said that Mr. Poddack brought in at least 10 suitcases into his hotel room over a period of time.
Sheriff Lombardo said that Mr. Paddock fired through his hotel room door at security guards, striking one in the leg. The guard is still alive, he said. SWAT officers went in after the guard was shot.
In addition to the weapons at the hotel, the sheriff said the police retrieved 19 firearms, as well as explosives, several thousand rounds of ammunition and “electronic devices” from Mr. Paddock’s home in Mesquite, Nev.
Who was the gunman?
Mr. Paddock, 64, was described as a high-flying gambler who lived in a quiet retirement community and played golf. Officials said he had no significant criminal history and drew little attention to himself.
Investigators are trying to piece together his financial history to search for clues that could help determine what set him off.
Details about Mr. Paddock’s career and livelihood were sparse, aside from observations by neighbors and family members that he routinely gambled large amounts of money. “He was a wealthy guy, playing video poker, who went cruising all the time and lived in a hotel room,” a brother, Eric Paddock, said.
