South Las Vegas Boulevard — the main road in front of the numerous hotels and casinos on the Strip — was closed to traffic in both directions between Harmon Avenue and Flamingo Road, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department tweeted shortly after 7 p.m.

The Nevada Highway Patrol described the incident as a vehicle versus pedestrian...Police have asked everyone to avoid the area until further notice.

They announced it may be intentional but is not terrorism....WTF?

How can they discount that if they are still investigating if it was intentional?

Have they announced that it is "three white males in camouflage style clothing and body armor" while curiously withholding the name, yet?

Hint, hint.

Latest press conference pegged the driver as a black female in her 20s driving a 1996 Oldsmobile with Oregon plates. She had a three-year-old in the car with her. She will be charged at some point tonight.

The spin is already on.

The MSM is saying “not terrorism.”

Wait. Someone tries to kill fifty people? And it’s an intentional act?

Terrorism.

I have lived in Las Vegas for 41 years.

I can remember an incident in Reno decades ago, when Priscilla Ford mowed down pedestrians in Reno. It was a shock. All the more so because it was deliberate. It was 1979...a more innocent era.

The news just announced that "they've ruled out terrorism" (but we the people, in THIS politically correct era, may have to decide if that is fact) and are "leaning" toward the determination it was intentional.

I was just there for an EVE Online conference. Walked that very stretch of pavement.

Terrorism does not have to be islamic.#blacklivesmatter and #KKKLIVESMATTER can also be terrorism.I mean what the hell, the definition of terrorism is terror, and I am sure all those pedestrians were terrified when they were being ran over.

Oregon? Black female? Wasn’t the Umpqua community college shooting by a black Oregonian?

I remember hearing about the Reno incident and was looking to see if anyone here mentioned it. Very similar and definitely not terrorism.

>> I avoid driving on Las Vegas Blvd.

It pretty much sucks between Trop and Sands; otherwise, it’s not too bad.

They've ruled out terrorism already?

The intent is one of two things, both tied to POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton, & the Democrat Party!!! Radical Muslim Terrorist, Obamabot or, Obamabot, Black Lives Matter, Radical Black Racist. Take your choice.

Either way innocent Americans are being slaughtered at will under the “Hate America” govenment of Barack Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton & the entire Democrat Party!!

Note: the entire New Hampshire, public school system will be shutdown today because of a serious, real, possible Obamabot Radical Muslim Terrorist attack. Hey, Americans, “ALL”....how’s that Obama “Hope & Change” workin’ out for ya?

Perp is a Black female in her twenties, driving a car with Oregon plates. A 1996 Oldmobile is not a rental unlike the rental car in San Bernadino. Oregon population is 2% black, however, Oregon is home to a large group over 8000 Somalian Muslims. Las Vegas is local coverage for me and still no name? They are going to keep this as quiet as possible because New Years’ eve is the biggest night of the year here. I smell a rat here.
