Two killed, 24 wounded in Las Vegas shooting - hospital

Terror has hit the Las Vegas strip. Right now, at least two dead, and 26 injured! Numbers expected to grow!

This is one more GOOD REASON for the Trump ban, and maybe for it to be increased to include dozens more nations in order to keep the bad apples out of America!

Does this type of terrorist action lend itself to the
Trump travel ban,
and the need to look closer
at those already here?!?

It is not yet determined if this was Isis, but it was an act of terror, no matter how you slice it!

The shooter was a local Las Vegas resident named Stephen Paddock.

While it was an act of domestic terror, you had NO business posting anti-immigration rhetoric in relation to it. You have created fake news with your post. If you have a shred of integrity, you'd apologize and ask for this thread to be deleted, so that you could re-start it and address the facts and *truth* of the incident.

Not one word of sympathy for the victims.

Not one mention of prayer for the survivors.

Not one mention of prayer for the relatives of the deceased.

Just a full on rush to politicize a tragedy.

Shame on you.

As of 0700 hours Pacific Coast time :

LAS VEGAS, Nevada, Oct 2 (Reuters) - A gunman killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 400 at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip on Sunday, raining down rapid fire from the 32nd floor of a hotel for several minutes before he was shot dead by police.

The death toll, which police emphasized was preliminary, would make the attack the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, eclipsing last year's massacre of 49 people at an Orlando night club.

At least 50 killed, over 400 people injured in shooting rampage at Las Vegas concert

Pray of course.

Horrible reports keep coming in.

Just too awful!
My deepest sympathy to those injured and to the relatives of those who died. May the God of all comfort be near them. I believe there are some on this board who live nearby.

(1) This was not a sniper, this was a man unloading an automatic weapon of some sort onto a crowd.
(2) Your header for this thread trivializes the horror of this attack on the public.
(3) The shooter was a local resident, an older white guy, that does not likely have ties to ISIS.
(4) Like most mass shooters, he was white male, so (by your logic) that show the kind of low-life we need to watch carefully. Let's ban white males from having firearms, make them register, and hold all white males guilty for what happens "in their community."
(5) You kind of look like the guy. I am now going to be "rightfully" prejudiced against you.

I doubt it. It was probably equipped with a "bump fire" stock. Idiotic and useless invention unless you want to do just as this guy did, fire into a crowd without bothering to aim or to pick your targets.

All the rest of your points I agree with. :)

Isil is claiming responsibility.

This is a prime example of why law enforcement should be using its valuable resources to prevent real crime instead of wasting away their resources annoying honest people just trying to make a living.

Listening to the fire rate, I believe it was a full auto conversion with a heavy bolt carrier group. It could be a genuine pre ban full auto.

Most mass shooters are not white.

RDII has been reprimanded quite well. No need to further beat that dead horse.

The shooter lives in Mesquite, AZ. I got an email from a friend of mine that moved to Mesquite last winter. The guy lives six houses away from him on the same street. My friend says FBI and law enforcement are swarming the property looking for clues and evidence.

It's probably not ISIS related.

The boldface seems obvious to me, once I saw an airphoto (pre-tragedy, of course) of the scene. The guy was 200 yards or more away from the crowd. I don't think a shooter exists who can pick individual targets (smaller than a crowded opening) while firing full-auto from that distance, unless the weapon is firmly fixed in place - probably not even then. Once the investigators recover and count all the brass from that 32nd-floor room, the number will be horrifying.
And the usual calls for tightening gun laws are inevitable, despite all the restrictions currently in place on full-auto weapons.

I hope this was a "false flag" staged event, my sympathies if it wasn't.
But I became skeptical of these things, ever since they came out with "Sandy Hook".

I also doubt it. White dudes in their sixties rarely convert to anything. But I’m not going to say anything definite.

Current totals are 58 dead, 505 went to various hospitals, and the madman had over 10 guns he used in his room to kill with!
