More than 50 people were killed and 400 more were injured in a Las Vegas mass shooting during a country music festival Sunday evening. It is the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. The suspected shooter, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, was found dead in a hotel room. Police believe he committed suicide.
It comes a year after the second worst mass shooting — the 49 people killed at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando.
This is the second terrorist attack at a concert this year. In May, an Ariana Grande concert was bombed, killing 22 people and injuring around 60 more.
Rappers and other celebrities have tweeted their condolences and thoughts about the mass shooting in Las Vegas.
I am deeply saddened by what happened in Las Vegas last night. I am keeping all of the victims and their families in my prayers.

I will also do everything in my power to get Congress to pass comprehensive gun reform so these types of tragedies don't happen anymore.
