BREAKING NEWS The death toll from the shooting in Las Vegas rose above 50


A gunman firing from a Las Vegas hotel rained a rapid-fire barrage on a huge outdoor concert festival on Sunday night, sending thousands of people fleeing until SWAT units found and killed him. More than 50 victims died, and at least 200 others were wounded, officials said.
Online video of the attack outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino showed the country singer Jason Aldean performing outside at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a three-day country music event, interrupted by the sound of automatic gunfire. The music stopped, and concertgoers ducked for cover. “Get down,” one shouted. “Stay down,” screamed another.

"A woman who was at the concert told a local news station that a “lady pushed her way forward in the concert venue. And she started messing with another lady and told us that we are all going to die tonight. … It was about 45 minutes the shots were actually fired. But then she was escorted out by security.” But police have not confirmed if they believe that was related to the shooting."

"Marilou Danley’s Facebook profile reads, “Proud mom and grandma who lives life to the fullest.” Her last public post was an update of her profile picture in August. She had posted numerous photos of herself. Friends commented on her looks, and she wrote under one, “Thanks …That was taken at Wiltshire Roof Top Restaurant in L.A.” In 2016, she wrote in the comment thread under a photo, “…Kuha Sa Jumeira Beach, Dubai.”"

Country music show, mass shooting. Has the civil war officially begun?

It would be interesting to discuss how this happened in a state with some of the most relaxed gun laws; contrary to most of our beliefs that relaxed gun laws would no doubt mean less shootings. In a situation like this though, nothing you can do so far away with a sidearm.

8:47 relaxed or strict gun laws makes no difference. To say if the gun laws had been more strict in NV and this would not have happened makes no sense. If it did then Chicago and Baltimore would be the safest cites in the world. This was not preventable. Even if the government were to somehow get all automatic weapons out of the US all someone has to do is go to the southern border and in an hour you could get as many as you want so long you have the cash. That's where the illegal weapons are coming from.

9:08 a very good point. Although I believe the mentality behind the ban of automatic weapons is that your average person/psychopath capable of doing something like this wouldn't have the cartel connections or ability to smuggle auto weaponry into the states. Open discussions about these issues help us find different ways of viewing things, even if some people have some crazy ideas (i.e. banning all guns)

This is exactly why refugees need to be vetted properly. We already have enough of our own home grown psychos. We don't need any other counties. Let LE spend their focus on our own and not some other countries problems.

Almost without fail the illegal weapons found in Chicago come from Mexico and South America. There's a pipeline where they are smuggling them in.

9:22 the "average" psychopath is capable of anything. They are usually very intelligent and cunning. They impeccably plan their deeds. They would know exactly who to contact to obtain any weapon they want.

They keep saying machine gun or automatic weapon , if they were using an AR-15 , this is not an automatic weapon, AR means armalite rifle , not automatic rifle.

9:41 An AR-15 can be converted to full auto as can an AK-47.

9:08 even if the government were able to get rid of all automatic weapons, you would still have people building them, they are not all coming from over the border, it really isn't hard to turn a semi auto gun into a full auto one just saying.

Are you guys assuming the MEDIA is telling us the truth about this story?

Doesn't this event seem very unlikely to occur?

Why would a man do this?
How could a man do this?
Automatic weapons, long distance, ????

Very suspicious to me.
Perhaps a false flag operation?
More gun control propaganda?
