A shocking report claiming that 66 people have been killed and 158 injured in a mass shooting in Las Vegas is circulating online, prompting concern and confusion among readers.
However, the figures in the viral claim do not match the established official record of the major Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017. That attack occurred on October 1, 2017, during the Route 91 Harvest music festival, when a gunman opened fire from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
The 2017 massacre resulted in 60 victims being killed, while hundreds more suffered injuries. Official investigative records documented hundreds of people with gunshot or shrapnel wounds, as well as many additional physical injuries connected to the chaos of the attack.
