Two people have been killed and dozens more injured in a mass shooting during an open-air country music festival in Las Vegas.

The city’s famous strip was on lockdown after prolonged automatic gunfire, which reportedly came from a top floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.

Thousands of people dived for cover as shots rained down on the crowd during the Route 91 Harvest Festival at about 10.20pm on Sunday local time (6.20am Monday BST).

Police later said one suspect was “down”, adding that they did not believe there were any more attackers.

Earlier unconfirmed reports claimed that “two or three” gunmen were shooting from the 32nd floor of the hotel.

A police officer was reported to be among those shot as Jason Aldean, the American country music singer, performed towards the end of the concert..

Las Vegas Hospital confirmed that at least two people have been killed and 24 injured with suspected gunshot wounds.

The shooting came towards the end of the three-day Route 91 Harvest Festival.
