I would suggest you take this news with a grain of salt right now, but it’s being reported everywhere that ISIS is claiming responsibility for the attack:
Without providing any evidence #ISIS claims Las Vegas gunman was one of its 'soldiers' who converted to Islam months ago #shooting

1- This is strange. ISIS just claimed Las Vegas attack. Arabic statement says shooter converted to Islam months ago. @jenanmoussa pic.twitter.com/LjJUcwB7Hy

2- I can confirm that the ISIS statement appeared on ISIS affiliated Amaq news agency. No evidence to back up claim. @akhbar

As they say, at this point there’s no evidence that this is even remotely true, but we’ll certainly update you if that changes.
