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.

I’ll go out on a limb here but first observation and closest parallel is the Scalise shooting. The crowd was country music lovers, likely Republicans.

Sixty four is not old age, not by a long shot

64 is the new 45

Seems odd a white supremacist would attack a country music show.

A white supremacist with a nonwhite female companion.

Just a little sample of what I’m seeing all over social media already.

nigelleeoatesThis madness will keep happening in the US for as long as the insane Second Amendment and evil NRA remains. How much do you value your kids, Americans?

"prison tattoo. Means “12 jurors, 1 judge, and no chance in hell of getting out”. He’s likely done heavy time."

It depends. A "13" tattoo has several meanings. In biker culture a "13" patch or tattoo means the person smokes marijuana as M is the 13th letter of the alphabet.

There's no info about this guy online. The MSM could make him into anyone they want.

How handy for the Feds and the MSM....

Glad someone over at zero hedge was thinking what I was thinking. I couldn’t remember the book I’d read where this type of thing happened.

“Kind of like that Matt Bracken novel “ Enemies Foreign and Domestic”

“Israel Radio reporting #LasVegasShooting shooter is “Samir Al-Hajib” - an American convert to Islam”.....

One and the same Mr. Stephen Paddock? So it seems!

64 the new 45...? Not really; plenty of people die in their mid sixties from natural causes, not too much at 45...

Yeah, I’ll believe he was a white supremacist when Jesse Jackson shoots up a rap concert.
