"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.

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.

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.
