KUALA LUMPUR: The Foreign Ministry has confirmed that no Malaysians were involved in the Las Vegas mass shootout that saw at least 50 people killed and more than 200 wounded.
A ministry representative said so far, no Malaysian victims have been identified as part of the crowd at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip.
However, he said the ministry will continue to monitor the situation for updates.
Earlier, it was reported that a gunman was 'raining down rapid fire' from the 32nd floor of a hotel for several minutes before he was shot dead by the police.
US authorities were also seeking a woman named as Marilou Danley, the suspected gunman's roommate.
Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo in news reports said the suspect was a local Las Vegas man who acted alone and was not believed to be connected to any militant group.
Lombardo described the suspected gunman's roommate as Asian, 4 foot 11 inches (1.5 m) tall, 111 pounds (50 kg).
