LONDON - British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said he was "horrified" by a shooting incident at an outdoor music festival on the Las Vegas Strip that left at least 50 dead and injured more than 400 wounded.

The attack is the worst mass shooting in the modern history of the United States.

Johnson said the United Kingdom stood ready to help however it could.

"I am horrified by the awful attack at a music festival in Las Vegas this morning (London time)," he said in a statement. "The United Kingdom stands with the American people against this indiscriminate violence. My thoughts are with all those caught up in it."

Here are details of some of the deadliest mass shootings in the United States in the past 25 years:
