WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - President Donald Trump on Monday tweeted his condolences and sympathies to the victims of a mass shooting in Las Vegas.
'My warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the terrible Las Vegas shooting. God bless you!' Trump tweeted.
Trump, who was scheduled to deliver remarks about deregulation at 11 am ET, is expected to deliver more significant remarks about the shooting.
The tweet from Trump comes after a man in Las Vegas opened fire on a crowd at an outdoor country music concert.
Reports indicate more than 50 people have been killed and more than 400 others were injured by the shooter at a show by Jason Aldean.
The gunman has been identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, who launched the attack from the 32nd floor of the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel.
Members of the media have noted that the shooting comes as Nevada has some of the most relaxed gun laws in the country.
