Harrowing eyewitness accounts are emerging from the scene of a Las Vegas country music concert where a gunman opened fire from a high-rise tower above, killing at least 50 people and injuring more than 200 others. Sunday night’s Route 91 Harvest festival was well underway across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino when the shooting erupted, officials said. Police have since said they believe there was only one gunman and that he is now dead. Here are some of the witness account captured from the scene:The shooting went on for more 30 seconds before the music stopped, witnesses said, then another burst was heard later. Bernice Allard, who came to the concert with her husband, Frank Allard, said there was screaming when the shooting began.
