President Donald Trump ordered US flags on federal buildings lowered to half-staff after the deadliest shooting in modern American history.

At least 58 people were killed and more than 500 were injured after 64-year-old Stephen Paddock opened fire on a music festival in Las Vegas Sunday night.

Trump will travel to Las Vegas on Wednesday to meet victims' families, first responders, and local officials.
