At least 50 people have been killed and another 200 have been injured in a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert, the BBC reports.

A gunman, named as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel toward an open-air music festival.

Police said a suspect identified as a local resident was shot and killed by officers.

They said they were looking for a companion travelling with the suspect as a “person of interest”.

Sheriff Joe Lombardo said police believed the shooting was a “lone wolf” style attack, but confirmed they were trying to locate an Asian female named as Marilou Danely.

Sheriff Lombardo said he was unable to accurately say the number of dead and injured, but confirmed two off-duty officers were among those killed.
