LAS VEGAS (Reuters) - A sombre President Donald Trump visited Las Vegas on Wednesday to express the sorrow and shock felt by a nation reeling from the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history, telling those whose loved ones died, "You're not alone."

Sunday night's attack by a gunman who killed 58 people and wounded more than 500 before killing himself "fills America’s heart with grief," Trump said. "America is truly a nation in mourning."
