Politics: Photos show the smashed windows at the Mandalay Bay hotel where a gunman opened fire on a music festival in Las Vegas

As the sun rose in Las Vegas on Monday, photos emerged of the window through which Stephen Paddock opened fire on the Route 91 festival, killing at least 50.

As the sun rose on the Las Vegas strip on Monday, it revealed two smashed windows on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, from which a gunman opened fire with an automatic rifle on a country music festival the night before, killing at least 50 and wounding over 500.

Soon after the shooting, which began at 10:08 p.m. PDT on Sunday, a SWAT team stormed the building, forced its way into his hotel room, and found the gunman already dead.

Police have said the gunman, identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, had at least 10 rifles in his hotel room, which he checked into three days before the attack. Nevada is an open-carry state, and automatic weapons are legal there.

Associated Press and Getty photos show a second window broken on the same floor, where drapes billowed out of the broken glass. It's not yet clear which the shooter used, or why two windows were broken.

Many of the Route 91 Harvest festival's approximately 22,000 attendees were young people, including families with kids. The country star Jason Aldean was onstage performing his headliner set to close the three-day festival when Paddock opened fire.

Here's another photo taken shortly after the attack Sunday night. You can see the two smashed windows then too:
