Wont back down and we do say good morning, america. As you can imagine a lot to get to on this Tuesday Morning. Here is a live look at las vegas. Still so many questions about how and why that tragic shooting happened. What a staggering death toll, 59, at least 59 killed. More than 520 injured. The victims were just there to enjoy the concert sunday night. Now the entire city and country reeling. Look at the cover of the las vegas newspaper. Unimaginable. So, so true.
