She said she started messing with another concert-goer before telling them they were all going to die tonight.
This took place about 45 minutes before the gunman opened fire with an assault rifle from the 32nd storey of the nearby hotel and casino killing at least 50 people and injuring dozens more.
‘There was a lady who pushed her way forward into the concert venue into the first row,’ the concert-goer told KSNV 3.
Meanwhile, Isis’s news agency Amaq has released a statement claiming that Sunday’s mass shooting in Las Vegas was carried out by a “soldier of the caliphate”.
Stephen Paddock, who lived within driving distance of the city, has been identified by police as the suspect responsible for the deaths of at least 58 people at a country music event after he fired on the crowd from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino.
The shooting is believed to be the deadliest in modern US history. Police initially said the incident was not being investigated as a terrorist act.
