LAS VEGAS | A family member Tuesday evening confirmed the death of Sutherland, Iowa, resident Carly Kreibaum, a victim in the largest mass shooting in U.S. history.

Kreibaum, a native of Sibley, Iowa, was believed to be one of at least 59 persons shot and killed during a Sunday night incident in which lone gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on a crowd of some 22,000 people attending the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a country-music extravaganza on the Las Vegas Strip. Paddock injured more than 500 people before turning the gun on himself in his room at the Mandalay Bay resort which overlooked the outdoor concert venue.

Kreibaum attended the festival with friends, Alison Huckaby, of Sutherland, and Amy Douglas, of Cherokee, Iowa. The latter two concert-goers escaped the melee and were separated from Kreibaum just after she was hit with a bullet.

Kreibaum's husband, Chris Kreibaum, flew to Las Vegas Tuesday morning to search for her whereabouts.
