Las Vegas shooting: call for blood donors to help wounded

When the call was made for volunteers to donate blood after the massive shooting in Las Vegas, people listened. There is now a five hour wait outside a blood bank.

On Sunday night (10/1) a gunman opened fire on a country music concert killing at least 58 and sending more than 500 others to area hospitals.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo and Governor Brian Sandoval stressed the need for blood donations during news conferences Monday.

Police have identified Stephen Craig Paddock as the lone suspect in the deadliest mass shooting in modern United States history. The 64-year-old Mesquite, Nevada resident was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside his room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
