Emergency personnel scrambled to deal with the aftermath of a Sunday attack by 64-year-old retired accountant Stephen Paddock that would kill 59 and wound 527.

Doctors say some of the gunshot wounds were so severe they knew they had come from high-powered weapons not usually seen on the street.

Concert-goers described scenes of horror and heroism.

One man grasped the hand of a dying stranger to comfort him as he died, unable to pull himself away despite the danger.

Many carried the wounded to their own cars to drive to the hospital where they waited in lines of ambulances at emergency rooms.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Facebook is announcing more measures to increase transparency in advertising as the company provides Congress with more than 3,000 ads linked to a Russian ad agency.

The company is announcing Monday that it will hire more than 1,000 people for global ad review teams, according to a Facebook official. Facebook will also update its policies to require better documentation from advertisers who want to run ads related to the U.S. election, including a requirement that the advertisers will have to confirm the business or organization they represent.

The official declined to be named because the new measures haven’t yet been officially announced.

Facebook officials are turning over the ads to three congressional committees that are investigating Russian influence in the 2016 election.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is about two months into issuing new driver’s licenses that comply with the federal Real ID Act, but some residents aren’t bringing the right documents.

The Wichita Eagle reports that starting Oct. 1, 2020, residents who use their driver’s licenses to board domestic flights in the U.S. and enter some federal facilities such as military bases will need to have upgraded identification.

Kansas Department of Revenue’s driver’s license manager Breana Berroth told the Wichita Eagle that some residents looking to renew their licenses haven’t brought the proper documents.

Residents seeking to upgrade their licenses must show proof for their Social Security number and provide a birth certificate or U.S. passport. Those who’ve changed their name should also bring documents proving the legal name change.

New licenses cost $8.
