Las Vegas Mass Shooting: Minnesota Native In Critical Condition

At least one Minnesota man was involved in what is the deadliest mass shooting in United States history that left at least 58 people dead and more than 515 injured in Las Vegas Sunday. The number of dead is expected to keep rising. The incident has already passed last year's Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando that saw 49 people killed and 58 injured.

Concordia Academy class of 1999 graduate Philip Aurich was among the crowd at the final night of the Route 91 Harvest Country Music Festival where the shooting took place, the Roseville, Minnesota school confirmed.

"As you pray for the victims of last night's shooting in Las Vegas, as well as all those affected by the tragedy, we ask that you please also pray for Philip Aurich," the school said on Facebook. "Phil, a 1999 Concordia Academy graduate and son of longtime CA teacher Mike Aurich, was one of last night's shooting victims."

Aurich is out of surgery and is currently in critical condition, school officials said. "Please keep Phil and his family in your prayers, including his children Reagan and Ryder and his parents Mike and Mindy."

Aurich was shot in his lower back, his sister-in-law confirmed with WCCO.

"Tonight is one of those nights you won't soon forget," Aurich said in a Facebook post before the shooting began.
