Las Vegas strip shooting: More than 20 dead, 100 injured near Mandalay Bay casino
ABC News ^ | October 2, 2017 | KARMA ALLEN EMILY SHAPIRO

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. Bystanders sprang into action, caring for the wounded and at least one described someone dying in their arms. Videos filmed by onlookers gave a window into the chaos that ensued, with some thinking that fireworks were going off. The final night of the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival was taking place across the street from Mandalay Bay when the shooting took place and concertgoers were caught off-guard. In the wake of the shooting, the Las Vegas Police Department said that "one suspect is down" and they did not believe there were any more shooters.

Can’t be that it was just one shooter, unless it was one quick burst with a humongous magazine, maybe a belt.

Is there anything to tie him to Vegas, or to the asian woman Marilou Danley?? This man appears to be a random lib-tard from Arkansas.

Addtionally, the POI Marilou is described as a “roommate” not a spouse - which would imply the gunman has a different last name.

Any additional input would be appreciated - otherwise it appears to be grasping at straws.

Sounds like desperation to claim that a white supremecist would be killing country music fans. That is equivalent to Black Lives Matter sponsoring the murder of rap fans.

Right now MSM editors are working on the narrative,
It’s Trump’s fault.
They start at the conclusion and work backwards.

Apparently the app for making a drop-in to an AR-15 on a 3d printer is available.

He is dead therefore he was an Alt Right White Supremicist.

It sounded to me like several 30 rd magazines with less than battlefield speed reload times. It also sounded like a nonstandard (slow) auto, a drop-in, maybe.

It will be interesting to hear how the guy was able to get his hands on a fully automatic rifle. The current prices are very cost restrictive and the sources are very limited.......
