A gunman turned a Las Vegas concert into a killing field Sunday night, murdering at least 50 people and injuring more than 200 others.
The suspect was identified as 64-year-old Stephen Paddock and authorities said they were "confident" Paddock's roomate, Marilou Danley, had been located. Officials previously described Danley as a person of interest.

Authorities said one on-duty officer was in critical condition and another was wounded in the shooting. Two off-duty police officers attending the concert were killed.
The gunman, who fired down on the concert from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, was killed by police.

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?

What security? He was a hotel guest, if you think Vegas hotel security will start searching ever hotel guests bag you don’t know much about Vegas. Big events like this are normal here, they aren’t going to “lock down” the hotel everytime.
Also, police found multiple weapons which explains the different sounds. AR or AK is not hard to make full auto or just use a bump fire stock.
Yeah, I believe it. What do you believe?
Yeah, you’re the expert.
Cue the liberal gun grabbers
It is fully automatic.
Amazing that considering I live in Israel, the absolute worst terror attack we’ve ever had here is 37 from the Coastal Road Massacre in the 1970’s...and that was basically a commando infiltration by sea to Lebanon.
Yet in the past 2 years alone we’ve had 2 50+ massacres in the US. 1 Islamic, 1 apparently not.
It’s not so much the country as it is the people who think so much of themselves that they believe the violent crimes they’re about to commit will be pleasing to their god and good for the world as a whole. They’re so sure of themselves that they volunteer their service for a suicide mission as a grand noble gesture. These things happen everywhere nowadays and the USA itself is not to blame. This kind of terrorism is not cultivated by our society. It is being borrowed from traditional Islamic extremists elsewhere in the world. No good citizens knowingly grow it in their gardens at home in America.
The left and islam share a common goal, the destruction of western civilization.
We’ll see. Probably best to wait for all of the facts as usual.
It’s our own fault! We refuse to believe that there are people out there that will do these things, them act amazed when it happens. Israel understands!
America should be 40 times more likely to have such an event as Israel, just based on population.
My point is that people who attend these events -- and those who organize them -- are going to begin expecting this type of security, which is why events like this are going to disappear.
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.
Thou shall not kill. The bloody murderer earned his stripes on the way down to his fiery pit below. The 32nd floor of the Mandalay is the last highest point to heaven he will ever know.
Reporter to Julie: “How did that make you feel?”
Have a nice “beauty” sleep on your so rudely interrupted birthday.
Agreed.
One would hope (though it doesn’t matter now) that the shooter was some kind of nut with an ideology or cause as a reason for going berserk but sometimes it all boils down to not being properly potty trained as a small child...
jimmy shiflett?
Being reported he had eight guns, two platforms and cameras .
