More than 50 people have been killed and at least 100 injured in a mass shooting at a Las Vegas concert.
A gunman opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel toward an open-air music festival being held close by.
Eyewitnesses describe the moments they realised there was a gunman in the area.
Tony Richardson from Manchester was made to stay in the basement area of Caesars Palace before being allowed to leave.
"There was pandemonium at Caesar's Palace, we heard someone shout, 'Get out, get out.'
"We were ushered to the exit near to the basement where we had to stay for our safety.
"Then we were told to go up into the lift to one of the management floors.
"There was about 100 of us, including children," he says.
"After around 45 minutes to an hour we were told we could stay there or go to the Casino."
"We chose the casino, it was getting claustrophobic in the small space we were in.
"We were held in the casino area for around two-and-a-half hours before being allowed to leave.
"The Strip was empty, I have never seen it like that before. It was eerily quite.
