Las Vegas witness: There should be stricter gun controls
The presenter was joined by co-host Phillip Schofield as Meghan Kavalus begged for there to be more gun control in America.
Speaking about what she had witnessed, Meghan, who was on a balcony at the Mandalay Bay Hotel, explained: "I don't want to use the word bloodbath but people were running away and scrambling away.
"There were too many people not moving so we were hoping that they were just lying down but we didn't know the shooter was above."
She went on to add that it was "pretty terrifying" not knowing what was happening, before she was forced to take cover with strangers in a hotel room as a SWAT team went from room to room to find the shooter, who has still not be identified.

How many more mass shootings do we have to have?
Phillip then asked what she thought of gun control in America following the attack, which has so far killed 20 and left over 100 people injured.
"Well, I mean, there's pretty mixed feelings that we should have a right to arms," Meghan said.
"How many more mass shootings do we have to have in this country, in our schools, public places, a mall and now in a state where the laws are way too lax? It's way too easy for someone to get their hands on a weapon.
"It is something that needs to be addressed immediately. But it has been going on now for 15-20 years."

"Watching it all unfold was… there are no words."
