The president, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, departed from the White House Wednesday morning. Trump and the First Lady will head to a Las Vegas hospital shortly after they land to meet with [victims of the shooting and medical professionals](http://time.com/4967185/taylor-swift-sends-flowers-las-vegas-shooting-police-station/) who are treating them, before proceeding to a meeting with what the White House described as “civilian heroes and [first responders](http://time.com/4966577/las-vegas-shooting-police-stephen-paddock/).” On Sunday night, a man who authorities have identified as [64-year-old Stephen Paddock](http://time.com/4964803/las-vegas-shooting-suspect-stephen-paddock/) fired into a crowd at the[ Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas](http://time.com/4965055/route-91-harvest-music-festival/) from the 32nd floor of the [Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino](http://time.com/4965095/mandalay-bay-resort-casino-hotel-las-vegas-shooting/). Law enforcement officials have not yet discerned a motive for the shooting, but President Trump has described Paddock as a “sick and demented person.” [Trump condemned the shooting](http://time.com/4965168/read-donald-trump-las-vegas-shooting-transcript/) as an act of “pure evil” and urged national unity Monday in a televised statement from the White House. “It is our love that defines us today,” he said.
