Las Vegas blood donation center was 'full' at 3:48 a.m.
Las Vegas residents poured into blood donation centers after Sunday night's mass shooting at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, where at least 50 people were killed and 200 injured. "Parking lot of blood donation center on Charleston is full. At 3:48 a.m.," tweeted KTNV 13 reporter David Schuman. "#Vegas is strong and compassionate."
CNN's Jake Tapper reported that 104 patients were admitted to the University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, with more than 30 being treated in the level one trauma center.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department told other people looking to donate blood to victims of the shooting to visit the Labor Health and Welfare Clinic.
