Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (R) ordered flags around Lansing lowered tomorrow after the shooting that killed at least 58 in Las Vegas. 

The Senate has observed a moment of silence to honor victims of Sunday's mass shooting in Las Vegas.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says "this is a moment of national mourning."

The Senate's tribute followed a moment of silence at the White House, where President Donald Trump paused on the South Lawn as a bell tolled three times.

At least 58 people were killed and hundreds others wounded in the shooting.
