LAS VEGAS – A shooting at a music festival on the Las Vegas Strip killed at least 50 people and wounded more than 200 others late Sunday, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo said.
He said the man authorities think was the sole gunman was killed by police on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino across Las Vegas Boulevard from the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a country music festival.
"We believe it's a solo actor. A lone wolf," Lombardo said.
He said the gunman is an area resident....

Oh My God!
Call her.
Update on Facebook on this a few hours ago.
Nothing since then.
Bullsh*t. This 'lone wolf' toted all that artillery up to a hotel room on the 32nd floor all by himself. Right.
Prayers for her and all involved in this attack.
As Loudier with Chowder's undercover work shows, the stashing/presetting of weapons is an antifa thing.
If the shooter has any association with antifa, then he's a straight up terrorists.
He wouldn’t have to, though it wouldn’t that hard. Just put it in suitcases and/or golfbags, the bellman would bring it up.
Prayers for your sister.
Just on news: lots of people who are witnesses in places with no cell coverage.

Phone number for loved ones update, given at press conference a few minutes ago.
She had posted she is safe on facebook several hours ago, but I will still call that number.
You’re very welcome.
How frightening to have a loved one near this.
I haven't read any listing of "all that artillery", but in Vietnam I carried my M-16, 500 rounds, a couple of frags, Kabar, 25 lbs of C-Rats, a 25 lb radio, gallon of water, helmet & flak jacket, etc.
Not that much work for one man to carry a weapon and enough ammo to do the massacre. Especially with 'roller' luggage and hotel luggage carts.
More than one trip or more than one person lugged that arsenal up to the 32nd floor. I suspect multiple, high capacity magazines, an AR type weapon, AK-47, etc. Took some planning to kill 50 people and wound 200+ people. He was one sick, now dead S.O.B. Thanks to the cops who “removed” him.
We can all now await the never ending cry for gun control.
All that artillery? Are you serious? I have a backpack that will fit my AR pistol and 240 rounds... Another sling bag with additional 240 rounds which easily fits in another backpack. People carry luggage into a hotel, it’s not difficult at all to legally carry weapons without people noticing.
Think law abiding citizens and the media might start taking antifa and the left seriously soon?? Or maybe we’ll capitulate to the left’s demands and maybe they’ll leave us alone?

“we’ll capitulate to the left’s demands and maybe they’ll leave us alone”....
NO capitulation here, I shoot back.
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.
msnbc already had the leftist obligatory anti-second amendment analyst. He was using the flawed “four or more” studies.
Fox News had the ‘more gun control’ talking points an hour or two ago.
