"More than 20 people were killed and 100 injured in a horrific shooting near the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas Sunday night, police said.

The "nonstop gunfire," according to one witness, sent bystanders outside the resort on the Vegas strip ducking for cover and fleeing for their lives. Tourists hid in their hotel rooms and flights headed into the McCarran International Airport airport were held elsewhere. ...."

Well that sucks.

Was shooting from the 32nd floor.

Sounds full auto on TV. WTH.

According to the sheriff the total is now at least 50 dead and 200 wounded. It's stomach turning.....

Latest from Reuters as of 0700 EDT. POI has been found and is being questioned.

Perp firing from the 32nd floor down onto the parking lot venue. ~ 40K persons in attendance at the concert. SWAT blew the door to his room to end it. Apparently the smoke detector went off in the perps room and that's how SWAT found the guys location. Perp had set up two firing platforms in his room and had baracaded himself in the room.

50 + killed and 200 + injured but the count will surely rise.

Wow, ladies and gentlemen...prepare to defend yourselves...

A world gone bonkers...

Just absolutely senseless. Prayers out to the victims and their families.

I wonder if this means hotels will start full security checks now. They may do that already, but in my little area of the world we don't.

Tragic and pointless.

Thoughts and prayers out to the victims.

I can't wait to hear the motive and any military affiliation. RIP for the people whose lives will change forever because of this nutcase. May he rot in ****.

Sickening. Prayers for victims' families and for the wounded.

Another round of wild eyed gun grabbers exploiting the tragedy to its fullest will ensue.

Definitely Full auto. Multiple reloads. >30rds at a time from what I heard from the you tube clips. Must have had multiple drums.

per Foxnews

50 killed 406 in hospital (shot?, trampled?)

perp dead. killed himself.

I get the AWMS, there's a lot of messed up sh!t going on around the world but, I don't get the venue? Why a country music festival?

Anyone else think this guy had a fascination with Charles Whitman?

As to the gun it's hard to tell by the way it rolled on. Automatic select/fire or belt-fed, or runaway (broken/modified sear) semi-auto? An AR built since the late 80s I believe to be impossible to do that with. There are rifles accepting 30rd mags that lend themselves to modifications but they will all run until supply is interrupted.





AWMS - Angry White Man Syndrome

stephen paddock just another Spineless Coward
 

No, just another spineless coward shooting innocent people.

Prayers out to those people affected by this tragedy.

My thoughts and prayers are with the victims as well as the members of the Las Vegas PD.

Moving into the kill zone armed with handguns because people were in danger; well done gentlemen.

My hat is off to those that endangered themselves in an attempt to make order out of chaos.

THOSE people make me proud to be an American.

Yep. :mad:

Prayers out for all of the fallen and wounded.
