America mourns 59 dead victims of concert massacre (Photos)

The country has been in mourning for the victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting that also left over 500 injured.

The shooting has already been declared to be the worst in the country's history with a fatality rate that surpasses the bloody Orlando mass shooting that took place only last year.

The 64-year-old former accountant turned terrorist used the vantage point of his Mandalay Bay hotel room to wreak mass havoc on the 22,000-strong crowd at the country music concert.

More than 500 hundred people were also injured in the tragedy as Paddock killed himself before law enforcement could apprehend him in a room full of assault weapons.
