This is the first image of the suspected gunman who killed at least 50 people when he opened fire at a music festival in Las Vegas.

Stephen Paddock has been named as the shooter who shot dead crowds of revellers at a country music event on the city's world famous strip.

As well as the 50 people confirmed dead, over 200 others are injured after the gunman opened fire on music festival revellers.

Crowds were enjoying the Route 91 Harvest country music festival when the shooter reportedly started spraying bullets from a hotel balcony.

As terrified revellers fled for their lives, officials received reports of an "active" gunman and patrol vehicles descended on the popular US Strip.

Some officers were seen taking cover behind their vehicles, while others carrying assault rifles ran into the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.

Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) later confirmed that one suspect was dead and that he is believed to have acted alone.

Looks like a shadow around his adam's apple.

kinda like Whitman and the U of Texas tower shooting. Civilian weapons appear out of nowhere and shooting at that tower seemed nuts, but the police didn’t stop it. In fact they praised it.

About 320 feet to the ground? Shooter can spray into a crowd. Once the crowd dispersed iron sights would be effective at that distance. Wonder if the shooter was upset his wife left him? Or perhaps he was inspired by the Congressional shooter? With this much planning the shooter must have left a suicide note.

I will never watch Hume again. This is disgusting. Every tragedy turns into a rabid feeding frenzy by those who have an anti-Trump agenda. The casual connection be damned!! If it were not so dangerous I would say it’s
comical.

Trump is responsible cause racism and rhetoric or something. Hume exhibits the typical Stockholm syndrome GOP elitist mentality. When members of congress were being shot up, the story was Russia(d) of the front pages. No mention of ANTIFA, no mention of violent left wing hatred that went back to the 60’s. Oh no, it was move on to the next story.

But before ONE fact is in Britt Hume can’t resist blaming this on Trump?!? So suddenly Country Music, which the MSM and guys like Hume label as racist, did what? Target large African American audiences? This was a racist hatred driven attack driven by Trump’s rhetoric directed toward him defending himself?!?

Mr. Hume, you are a shameful jerk. But hey, you got to spew your NeverTrump talking points, and written in blood to boot!!!

>>Anyone who took the time and effort to master an advanced skill might not like Trump or people who vote for him, but that’s not the definition of “snowflake”.

Evidently you've never spent a Monday morning listening to the snowflakes with "advanced skills" loudly boasting about how nice the booth was at the company-sponsored "Pride" parade.

Plenty of snowflakes in the outhouse....

This sure sounds like a “James T. Hodgkinson”/Congress shooter-type guy and scenario.

Lone wolf, older white guy, ends up dead...so he can tell no tales, etc.

When the lone suspect is dead, he can’t spill the beans on who put him up to it.

Smart money says that this shooter was on prescription psycho-tropic drugs.

(they all have been so far)

Was the venue a firearm free venue?
Very surprised there were no open or concealed carry good guys with a firearm to stop the attack.

Shirley, you can't be series? How is a personal sidearm going to do anything against a rifle in the upper window of an overlooking hotel?

Never-Trumpers are as Disgusting as the Lying Leftist Scum.

I should have known better and switched the channel to Varney & Co. right after Fox & Friends.

Oh crap.. Now Hume is talking to Varney!

Letterman's opinion, is like the abusive husband who blames his wife, for making him hit her!

How dare Trump supporters make progressives shoot them!!

No kidding. Exactly right...it’s the disgusting, lying MSM AND Dems/leftists who’ve fomented and “ramped up” this ‘anxiety and hate’.

FUBH

Fox should fire his @zz for even suggesting this.
