Coroner: Gunfire Killed All 58 Victims In Las Vegas Shooting

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A coroner says all 58 victims of the Las Vegas mass shooting died of gunshot wounds.

Clark County Coroner John Fudenberg tells The Associated Press that all the deaths were determined to be homicides.

Fudenberg said Thursday that the 64-year-old shooter died of a self-inflicted gunshot to the mouth. It was, Stephen Paddock's only wound, and his death was ruled a suicide.

The findings reveal that none of the victims killed at an outdoor concert Oct. 1 died of injuries received trying to escape the festival grounds.

Authorities say more than 500 people were injured when Paddock unleashed gunfire from an upper floor of a high-rise hotel onto a country music festival below.

Fudenberg says he waited to release autopsy findings until all the families had the information.
