This video — shot by an incredibly brave former Marine on the ground — captures the chaos as bullets flew around the stampeding crowd when the gunman opened fire on the audience at the Route 91 Harvest Festival.
The shooter has been identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, who committed suicide as cops rushed into his room on the 32nd floor of the luxury hotel.

Marilou Danley (inset), a 62-year-old hostess who lived with Paddock at their Las Vegas home, was originally identified by police as a "person of interest" after he used the woman's ID to rent the hotel room. She is not considered an accessory to the murders.

In addition to the 50 confirmed kills by the mad sniper, at least 200 people are reported to have been injured during the horrific attack.

This disturbing video shot from within the crowd shows how Aldean's audience desperately scrambled to escape as shots rang out during the show.
The country star — seen here onstage moments before the shooting began — later posted a message on social media, saying: “My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved tonight.”

“It hurts my heart,” Aldean continued, “that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night.”
