President Donald Trump visited bedsides at University Medical Center and the headquarters of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department on Wednesday in the wake of Sunday night’s shooting massacre.

At least 59 people were killed and more than 480 others were injured when a gunman opened fire on the Route 91 Harvest Festival, an outdoor country music concert, late Sunday.
