Vegas strip mass shooting!

Two civilians dead, 24 injured. One shooter killed. I've been reading there is a possible second. What sounded like actual full-auto fire. Guy was shooting from a third floor balcony at the Mandala Bay Casino.

Just saw a video on FB from when the shooting started.  Full-auto for sure and could well be multiple shooters.

Seen a report where a shooter is down.  "Official" reports at this time is 2 dead and 100+ wounded.  Seen reports with as many as 20+ dead and 100+ wounded.

News conference with Vegas sheriff reported 20+ dead 100+ injured.
Reports are of 1 shooter from 32nd floor of hotel overlooking concert venue.
Shooter is dead, no details on ID  or motive yet.

ETA: Just watched a video clip, sounded distinctly like full auto weapons fire.

I'm hearing that yesterday there was also some sort of attack in Canada and France.

Short clip here, https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/914735357408808960/pu/vid/720x1280/nLaK9UEK0mzBJrh5.mp4 Actually kind of sounds like maybe a bumpfire stock. Seems to change how fast it's shooting, or possibly weird echo effects. Or maybe even that's it just sounds like that because the shooter is spraying back and fourth, meaning sometimes it's pointed away from camera person and other times not.

Hearing two different names for the shooter. A Stephen Paddock and a Geary Danley, hearing more evidence on this Geary Danley. Guys facebook page that got posted up is full of leftist loonacy. Also apparently looking for his girlfriend, an "asian 4'11", named Marilou Danley.

The place that the shooting seemed to be directed at was a country music concert.

[RoadKingLarry]

Fox now reporting 50 dead, 200+ injured.

Saw some graphics of.the scene. Fish in a barrel.

[Sergeant Bob]

Terrible tragedy. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families.

[K Frame]

Hearing whisperings that the shooter is connected to Antifa.

[Jamisjockey]

Pretty much nothing being put public on this guy so far besides his name.
Surprising.
And the videos you can clearly hear his weapon is FA.

[Fly320s]

50+ dead, 200+ wounded.

Sounds like a lone whacko.

[230RN]

Sure, country music concert.  High concentration of deplorables.

Not to make it all political, but because it probably doesn't fit the narrative of most of the media and gun control crowd.

Daily Mail is naming him as Stephen Paddock, age 64.

Doesn't sound like an Islamist. Could well be Antifa, I suppose.

Not that a handgun would have been of any use against a guy with a machine gun on the 32nd floor of a building across the street but ... does anyone know if the concert was a gun-free zone?

[lupinus]

Most likely yes, can't remember the last time I saw a concert that wasn't, with the exception of some open air community event type ones without a security reference.

I just heard on the news apparently the reason they figured out the room was that he set off the smoke alarm in his room. That's alota ammo. Also that he had multiple guns, shooting platforms set up, and security video set up to monitor for police moving on his room.

I'd be amazed if that was the case - for a start you have all the people who would be able to see him and give a rough location (floor and side of building if not the actual room), then you would have the people in the rooms nearby who would probably be able to narrow it down further (ie: "there is a guy in the room next to me who is either shooting off a load of rounds or you really need to get a bloke to fix that bed in the morning").

City has pretty strict gun control and weapon laws.  I checked into it when we took a trip to Vegas a few years back. 

[Hawkmoon]

Just saw one report that raised the number of wounded to 400+.

Yikes!

I imagine there were panic injuries mixed in, people getting trampled in the melee.

[freakazoid]

Now it's sounding like the shooter was this Paddock guy. Sounds like he is connected to the other guy somehow, like roommate or something. And that asian lady apparently was kicked out of the concert at one point. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/woman-chillingly-said-everyone-going-11274113 She is also apparently in custody now.

Heard the shooter had set up multiple cameras to watch for cops coming, and had like 6 rifles ready to go.
I hear that the news is already sowing the seeds for pushing anti-gun legislation. Apparently had some ABC guy talking about how easy it is to convert guns to full-auto.

[freakazoid]

Don't know if this is one of the troll Antifa groups, apparently this guy is also from Melbourne.

Keep in mind, a number of those alleged antifa groups are indeed trolls or false flag.

[TechMan]

Heard on the radio that the security fence for LAS bordered the venue and the mass of humanity rushing to get out penetrated the fence and people were running around on the runways/tarmacs and LAS had to suspend operations.

[MillCreek]

The Daily Sun quotes the perpetrator's brother as 'just a normal guy who must have snapped'.  No known political or religious affiliation as per the brother.
