A gunman reportedly opened fire on a country music concert outside the Mandalay Bay casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday evening.

Las Vegas Police have closed I-15 from Tropicana to Russell Road, and are asking people on the Strip to avoid the area. Reports indicate at least one gunman opened fire on crowds gathered for the Route 91 country music fest.

Update 12:22 a.m. PDT: Reuters reports that 14 of those who arrived at area hospitals are “critically wounded”:

Country music singer Jason Aldean was reportedly wrapping up his music set when the attack occurred. Video footage posted to social media captures the sound of rapid gunfire.

Thanks for the update! I just watched it on Fox.

Geary Danley would still be my pick to “bet on”, just from his FB page and relationship to Marilou Danley.

Slide fire stock methinks. Possibly an auto glove.

First one was a 50-75 rd drum while music playing. Very slow reload to the next magazine. Probably not a second shooter which would start firing when the other shooter stops. Very VERY slow reload. Probably a slide fire stock or auto-glove that makes semi's bump fire (similar to full auto) and hard to reload.

There is a video on twitter that makes me believe this is an auto glove due to variable ROF (rate of fire) going up and down. Either that or there were two rifles being shot at once.

I wonder if we can trust these authorities. The media can find out almost everything about a named suspect within minutes. But now, they are WAITING....

I just wonder if some internet SCRUBBING of this guy’s identity and beliefs is being done.

I mean, look, the media was infuriated it had to report that the Scalise shooter was a Democrat Bernie supporter....I wonder if they’re shredding any info on this perp to keep the truth out of the public eye.

Several news report contain same information -—
...authorities say 50 fatalities have been confirmed, and that some 200 people were wounded. Fourteen of the wounded are in critical condition. University Medical Center spokeswoman Danita Cohen reported that the hospital had taken in “several” victims with gunshot wounds.

Why am I not surprised? Did anyone criticize them?
