very unofficial but this is a casualty count on Twitter from a feed that says they monitor Fire Dept. scanners (horrible enough, hope it doesn't turn out any worse than this):

CA Fire Scanner; @CAFireScanner

These totals were just given by FD via scanner.

25 transported & 1 DOA

16 transported & 1 DOA

50 transported & 20 DOA

Suspect firing from Mandalay Bay hotel down at the crowd.

If suspect committed suicide, that’s not ISIS. They fight until killed.

“may not be terrorism...shooters were so far away from victims
usually terrorists get closer per expert”

That’s a load of crap. Killing people like this *is* terrorism and up close or distant makes no difference.

[knighthawk]

Yeah belt fed is more for Rambo’s. Sustained fire can also be achieved with drums (50 or 100 x .223 with an AR) or even jungle clips and a quick hand.

newsroom:

has to be more than one shooter

[piasa]

Norks just called Trump a cowboy last week and made their ‘this means war’ threat.

[TigerClaws]

Agree.

Not ‘terrorism’ is insane. Exactly what this is.

[Spktyr]

It sounded like one medium caliber belt fed running out belts and at least one lighter caliber magazine fed rifle firing in bursts, possibly return fire, from all the audio I’ve heard. The gun running the long bursts was something in the .30 cal/7.62 range and was firing long, long bursts, longer than you will get out of most automatic rifles. Most notably, the cyclic rate didn’t decline like an overheating automatic rifle.

[laplata]

That kind of nonsense chaps my butt.

[Eleutheria5]

Full auto means either rogue fed, trimmed down semi-auto by usual suspect, or foreign invasion.

[Charles Martel]

One person with an actual machine gun can do that.

Yep, that's how we held Guadalcanal.

[Gideon7]

Fox and CNN websites are reporting 2 dead.

This guy is a hero:

One down as per Fox

>> may not be terrorism...shooters were so far away from victims

I’m estimating a range of 350-400 feet at Mandalay.

[atc23]

CNN is still reporting only 2 dead and not likely more than 1 shooter - "suspect dead"

That's clearly a belt fed weapon so I don't get why only 2 dead.

[Pinkbell]

That is very eerie timing and seems very coincidental if true.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

expect that to go higher.

[laplata]

Unfortunately it will be more than 2.... a lot more.
