Trump tags Las Vegas shooting 'terrible tragedy'

US President Donald Trump decried on social media over his reaction to the deadliest mass shooting in the country's modern history.

At least 58 people were killed and more than 500 others injured on Sunday when a gunman opened fire on a crowd of concert-goers in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Trump's first reaction came hours after the mass shooting took place, when he tweeted that the attack was a "terrible" tragedy. Many on social media felt Trump's reaction on Twitter, and later during his speech was too little, too late.

Some social media users also condemned Trump for not calling the Las Vegas shooter a "terrorist", with many pointing to what they say is a double standard in the way white attackers and non-white attackers are labelled and treated in the US.
