The Las Vegas that has been dubbed as the deadliest mass shooting in the modern US history has left 59 people dead and more than 500 injured. The incident took place at the Las Vegas Village where the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival is being held.
On the night of the carnage, an outdoor concert was ongoing and singer Jason Aldean was up on the stage. His performance was interrupted by rapid gunfire and many people suddenly fell bleeding.
Terrified concertgoers immediately ducked and ran for cover as horrifying screams are heard everywhere. The police later identified the lone gunman as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock.
Hours after the shooter has been named, the victims have been identified as well and one of the first few names to come up in the news reports is Sonny Melton, a 29-year-old nurse.
