Foreign ministry clarifying whether there are Armenians among Las Vegas shooting victims

Armenia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) is currently clarifying whether there are ethnic Armenians or Armenian citizens among the Las Vegas shooting casualties, a ministry spokesperson said.

“We are trying to clarify that information. We have no clear information yet,” MFA spokesman Tigran Balayan told Panorama.am.

To remind, at least 50 people died and more than 400 more hurt when a 64-year-old gunman identified as Stephen Paddock with an arsenal of at least 10 rifles fired on a Las Vegas country music festival on Sunday, raining down bullets from a 32nd-floor window for minutes before killing himself.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the deadliest mass shooting.
