Las Vegas shooting

Ariana Grande calls for greater gun control after Vegas shootings

Police are working to establish the motive behind a mass shooting which left at least 59 dead and another 527 injured.

The singer, whose own gig in Manchester in May was attacked in an act of terrorism, killing 22 people, is calling for greater "love, unity, peace & gun control."

She adds that people should "call this what it is = terrorism."


Las Vegas shooting: Police search for gunman's motive

Gunman Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel towards an open-air music festival on Sunday evening.

Police found 23 guns in his hotel room, as well as "in excess of" 19 firearms and explosives at his Nevada home.

But as yet, no clear reason for the killing has emerged.

Investigators have found no link to international terrorism, despite a claim from so-called Islamic State. Some investigators have suggested psychological issues, but there is no confirmation of this.
