CNN doesn’t want to get ahead of things. Over 20 reported dead from other sources.

The Paris attack involved automatic rifles using magazines, for example, not a belt fed machine gun.

I'm no expert, but a Tommy Gun drum is 50 round capacity, and I'm not aware of a higher capacity commercial civilian rifle.

I couldn't really count, but I'd bet there were 2 bursts of more than 50 rounds in this attack.

Belt Fed Ammo

The witness was just a normal girl

Said Hispanic lady and hispanic man 5 ft 5 and 5 ft 6....ruching to front screaming”You’re all going to die tonight”

45 minutes Before start of gunfire

[neverevergiveup]

“Not ‘terrorism’ is insane. Exactly what this is.”

Yes. That much is clear, no matter who is responsible.

[Enchante]

That may be 2 officially confirmed fatalities but it looks like it’s going to go far beyond that. It appears that many dozens were hit, and reports of fire scanners saying more than 20 DOA so far.

ISIS threat was from May of this year:

[RacerX1128]

They escorted both out of venue

[dragnet2]

I’ll speculate, the suspect had a snipers nest room 135, 32th floor, Mandalay Bay.

[SaveFerris]

There are 90 and 100 round for AR-15 / AK-47, etc.

Metro believes ONLY ONE SHOOTER

[Vision Thing]

On local cbs affiliate, Big and Rich just mentioned a lot of staffers and crew members were hit.

Effectiveness of their chosen weapon. If they don’t care about getting away, firing a belt fed machine gun from an elevated position into a crowd is going to increase the effectiveness of their attack immensely as even rounds ricocheting off the pavement at angles could take out even more people, as could rounds passing through multiple bodies at a downward slant.

[Charles Martel]

My personal guess, based on the limited laudio I’ve heard tonight, is that several shooters from different locations used magazine-fed automatic rifles.

Maybe. Did the cops in Colorado recover the hardware recently stolen from "Dragonman"? IIRC, a machine-gun was among the firearms that were taken.

[Meet the New Boss]

Listening to the Drew Akioshi video on Twitter, I timed on a stopwatch three bursts of ten seconds each separated by significant breaks. Sounded like somewhere around 500 rounds per minute.

So it could have been 50 round magazines being changed out. Or, belt fed and letting it cool between bursts.

[sheik yerbouty]

Well within rifle range..

[TigerClaws]

Sky news justed interviewed young woman 20’s who said she met a Hispanic woman who told them they were all going to die tonight.
