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.

Here’s the interview. “She and her boyfriend were Hispanic...”

And I think it was “You are all going to die”. Later the witness said the hispanic gal (mistaken hispanic for the older Asian gal??) had told a woman that she was going to die...”that we were all going to die”. I don’t take it to mean that the hispanic looking woman included herself in dieing.

P>NO MATTER WHAT WEAPON WAS USED, IT STILL WASN'T AS DEADLY AS A TRUCK.(stolen from Ted in Tallahasse). 86 killed, 500 wounded in Nice, France. Whether it is a truck or a gun, it doesn't matter because they are just tools. We get these stories only when muslims and madmen use them for reasons NOT in their inherent design.

This needs to be said before ANY talk of gun control with your friends at work this AM: "Almost as deadly as the truck used in Nice, France". THAT is how you deflate your anti gun friends/family/coworkers/neighbors.

Fox news is now saying 50 dead and 200 injured. I put a lot of this on Obama who did nothing to stop this for 8 years.

My ear witness heard them from intruders on a kibbutz and on Highway 60 in Judah and Samariah, mowing down three hitchhikers at Tzomet Hagush. A pile of stones is maintained where they fell.

Have not heard any claims he’s a white supremacist through the night. Your thread is the first claim of it. Israeli site says he’s a convert to Islam.

That’s not remotely close to shooter Steven Craig Paddock, who is 30 years older than your guy.

Why did you alter ‘Steve’ to ‘Steven’?

Yet false reports flying around internet that shooter was white supremacist.

Of course. Disinformation by the left.

As info comes in, it looks like Stephen Paddock was an Anti-Trump radical and convicted sex offender. His girlfriend is an Indonesian Muslim who was previously married to a moveon.org supporter and fellow left wing radical.

Wrong Stephen Paddock. He is not an “AMERICAN INDIAN OR ALASKAN NATIVE.”

I’m getting information that the wife has ties to an Antifa group in Ardsley, NY that has been advocating turning the US into egalitarian society. Basically starting over again. This particular Antifa group sources have shared with me is particular radical. When I know more I’ll post
