Witness Describes Being Warned Before Attack: 'You're All Going to Die'

Some concertgoers were reportedly warned about the shooting at a Route 91 Harvest country music festival, which left at least 50 dead and more than 400 injured so far.

According to one witness, a woman taunted some concertgoers about 45 minutes before the attack that they were “all going to die.”

“She had been messing with a lady in front of her and telling her she was going to die, that we were all going to die,” the witness told local news about the woman, who had pushed her way to the front of the venue.

“They escorted her out to make her stop messing around with all the other people, but none of us knew it was going to be serious.”

The witness, who was there for her 21st birthday, described the woman and man as Hispanic, both short, who looked like “everyday people.”

She and her friends just made it back to their room as the gunfire began.

Police have Danley in custody. The shooter, identified as Stephen Paddock, is dead. 

Paddock was shooting down on concertgoers for roughly 10 minutes from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. 

He reportedly killed himself when police arrived.

Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said that his officers breached Paddock's room on the 32nd floor and found Paddock dead inside, among an 'arsenal' of 10 firearms. Lombardo said that Paddock shot himself dead. 

Investigators are now raiding Paddock's home in a retirement community in Mesquite, which he shared with a woman named Marilou Danley. Danley was initially called a person of interest in the shooting, but police no longer believe she was involved after contacting her early Monday morning and finding her out of the country. Police say it appears Paddock used her ID when he checked into his hotel on September 28.  (Daily Mail)

Police say they have not determined a motive for the attack.

Maybe the woman was a spotter. Part of the team.

Oh really? Could she have left prior to what she knew was going down? Her job done.

I’ll take this with a grain of salt until it’s confirmed by more than one witness.

My thoughts exactly. She was ‘conveniently’ out of the country when it happened??? I hope she is in custody and will eventually be truthful.

Enough is enough! I’m calling for an IMMEDIATE BAN on AUTOMATIC weapons! Offenders should go prison! Moreover...what? They already are? Oh, never mind...

If he was a convert to Islame I doubt he would be drinking shots, but who knows. Maybe he was a far leftist who recently converted. He also could be just a suicidal nut job who wanted to take people out with him before he offed himself.

The 9/11 hijackers hit up the bars and strip clubs a few weeks before the attack.

Do we now demand “evidence” from ISIS when they claim responsibility for an attack? Myself, I take their word for it.

If she was escorted out they should have gotten her ID, whether or not it was good ID.

THIS is what lends credence to the ISIS angle. Is his Filipino girlfriend a Muslim? Did he convert?

9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta drank heavily and went to tittie bars for 2 weeks before the attacks

In the weird interpretation of Islam by some, If you make the ultimate jihad, then all prior sins are forgiven.

Eat, drink and be merry for tonight we jihad.
