The deadliest mass shootings in US history (infographic)

Las Vegas concert massacre the worst

The Las Vegas strip shooting on Sunday was the worst such incident in recent U.S. history. 59 people died at a country music festival when an assailant opened fire from a hotel room overlooking the venue. More than 500 people were injured in the attack and the ensuing chaos.

Only last year, there was a similar such incident at a night club in Orlando, Florida, where 49 people lost their lives in a mass shooting.
