A Las Vegas Metropolitan police source has confirmed that at least 20 people are dead in a shooting Sunday night outside Mandalay Bay on the Las Vegas Strip.
Metro also confirmed about that one suspect is dead on a high-level floor of Mandalay Bay. It’s not known if there are other suspects.
Police are asking people to avoid the area.
Police reported multiple casualties from the incident and possibly two shooters with automatic weapons.
The attack came during the last performances on the final night of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival, which has been held for the past four years on an 15-acre lot across Las Vegas Boulevard from Mandalay Bay.
A propaganda video by ISIS that emerged in May called for a lone wolf attack on the Vegas Strip.
Police and counter-terrorism officials in Las Vegas were on high alert after the chilling 44-minute video emerged from the terror group urging followers to strike.
While it has not been confirmed that the attack on Vegas, the video could have been a call to arms for a potential jihadst.
