The US authorities have yet to identify those killed or injured during the shooting rampage that killed 59 and injured more than 520, and it will take some time to confirm the identities of the victims, the ministry said. 

Immediately after the incident, the Korean Consulate in Los Angeles set up an emergency team to collaborate with the US government to check the safety of Koreans, a ministry official said.
