[papasmerf]

Last night a man opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandala Bay (las vegas), into a lot across the street.

The lot was the venue for the Route 91 concert with 30,000 plus in attendance.

The shooter was taken down by police.

this footage is graphic... Newstag

this is the latest rampage, soon there will be another. Because the world is full of kooks and kooks can easily obtain guns, and lots of guns.

 

[papasmerf]

That did not take long to blame the gun not the person

 

[cristycurves]

Who's blaming the gun. I mentioned kooks obtaining guns....... But maybe there is a brand of gun named kook...... :no:

Since the US does not have a special KOOKS can BUY gun laws, her post condemns the ability to get a gun in general.

That is not as you see it, I know.
But as you must admit it is subject to interpretation.....or so my perceived 98 point IQ would suggest.

 

[papasmerf]

Latest detail is 22, 000 were at the venue.

Well perhaps you and your Trump can merge together to set one up

Why would we do that?
Myself I do not support Automatic Weapons in the hands of anyone outside the Military.

I also do not believe in the need for military style weapons to be sold to the public.

I agree and if more American's would at least stand up and yell it out to their ignorant politicians it would be a good start.

Imagine being picked off by a sniper (kook) just for breathing and being a the wrong place at the wrong time.

That my friend is impossible to guard against

Because as this incident AGAIN shows, clearly whats in place isn't working......I don't know much about guns and don't want to, and as the news feed reports 8 weapons were found and they described them as long rifles, I haven't seen where it was said "military style".....If I'm wrong than I'm wrong. Even so, it appears that stronger gun laws need implementing, since the ones already enacted obviously are not working. And also, if this person used military style weapons, how did he get them.... So again, another reason to enact stronger laws to prevent that from happening, as whats in place obviously isn't working.
But leave things as they are, and sit tight and wait, this will happen again, and again and again........

Keep this in mind

No typical long gun can me modified to Automatic.
Criminals do not go to the local gun store to by weapons.

Did you know it is illegal for most convicted criminals to carry a knife?

 

[papasmerf]

It appears that 2 rooms on the 32nd floor were used as a shooter's perch.

Thus far it is evidenced that only one shooter was involved.

I have friends in Vegas and am happy to find that all are OK.

One Family is still awaiting news from their friends who were at the concert

 

[God]

This man has destroyed so many families. Their lives will never be the same.

 

[TFZL1]

So sad. I feel for all the people shot and injured in the panic. So many people and families destroyed in this senseless attack.
News is making wild speculation, he was shooting from 2 different rooms. No one knows why. Doesn't matter what they decide, I'll never understand how someone could have so much hate to kill people at at concert where they're having a good time. They say president is supposed to speak soon. Seems to me that'll just distract attention.

[h=2]What we know right now:[/h]

• What happened: At least 50 people were killed and more than 400 injured in a shooting on the Las Vegas Strip last night.

[h=2]Gunman's brother speaks to CNN[/h]From CNN’s John Couwels
Eric Paddock, the brother of shooter Stephen Paddock, briefly spoke to CNN outside his home in Orlando, Florida.
“He was my brother and it’s like an asteroid fell out of the sky," he said. The last time he spoke to his brother was when Stephen texted asking how their mother was after they lost power for five days in Hurricane Irma.
He says Stephen spoke to his mother on the phone a week or two ago.
The FBI arrived at the house and an agent introduced himself while CNN was speaking to Paddock.


[h=2]The scene of the shooting at the Mandalay Bay hotel[/h]Broken windows are seen on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, from where the gunman was shooting into the crowd of concertgoers.
The gunman, 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, checked into the hotel on Sept. 28.



[h=2]As the sun rises in Vegas, people are already lined up to donate blood[/h]Shanda Maloney was awake last night when she saw news reports about the shooting. She jumped in her car and started giving rides to anyone who needed them.
"Hearing all the sirens around, you feel completely helpless," she tells CNN. "I just started tweeting if you need a ride [I'll come pick you up]."
After that, she drove to United Blood Bank Services at 4:30 a.m. to donate blood — and found many others already waiting in line.
She said she's still in line and won't leave the blood bank until she can donate.


[h=2]At least 10 rifles found in gunman's hotel room[/h]According to Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo, police found at least 10 rifles in Stephen Paddock's room at the Mandalay Bay Hotel.

Get a hold of this crap. Or can it be true?.

CAIRO (Reuters) - Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded over 400 in Las Vegas early on Monday, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.
“The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition,” the group’s news agency Amaq said in reference to the U.S.-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.
“The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago,” Amaq added.
