News Alert: Deadliest US mass shooting

More than 50 people were killed Sunday night when a gunman fired hundreds of bullets at a country music concert on the Las Vegas Strip, police said. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern US history.

About 400 others were rushed to hospitals after the mass shooting and ensuing stampede at a Jason Aldean concert.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to address the nation on the shooting at 10:30 a.m. ET. Watch live coverage on CNN.

The gunman, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, unleashed a hailstorm of bullets from the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel, Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said.

Inside his room, they found a cache of weapons, including 10 rifles, the sheriff said.

"We believe the individual killed himself prior to our entry," Lombardo said.
