This is the first image of the suspected gunman who killed at least 50 people when he opened fire at a music festival in Las Vegas.
Stephen Paddock has been named as the shooter who shot dead crowds of revellers at a country music event on the city's world famous strip.
As well as the 50 people confirmed dead, over 200 others are injured after the gunman opened fire on music festival revellers.
Crowds were enjoying the Route 91 Harvest country music festival when the shooter reportedly started spraying bullets from a hotel balcony.
As terrified revellers fled for their lives, officials received reports of an "active" gunman and patrol vehicles descended on the popular US Strip.
Some officers were seen taking cover behind their vehicles, while others carrying assault rifles ran into the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) later confirmed that one suspect was dead and that he is believed to have acted alone.

“Not just merely dead, she’s really, most sincerely, dead.”
They might be waiting because with every previous shooter they would declare him to be some sort of right winger - and were almost always wrong.
Maybe they are trying to get it right this time.
I know. Unwarranted optimism.

Not slide fire unless this guy practiced with it a lot. The volley was too evenly spaced. No, this was a try full auto w/ burst
I am with you on the 50-75 round drum. Counted first volley, believe 50. Took a long time to slap in second mag tells me it was not a 40 round mag or two 30s taped together opposite each other.
If it was belt fed he would have had to stick with belt fed on every reload. First volley, 50 rounds reload, second volley less than 50, reload?? Look at your picture. See that black thing where the mag goes. That is a plug to fill hole up to not allow for mags. So, every reload would have to be belt fed.
Also belt fed needs feeder person or requires shooter to fire one handed and risk breaking/bending belt. So maybe he really did have a helper. One handed shooting would have been tough to score the hits he was getting.
One other problem with belt fed if you are the shooter. They leave around a ton of evidence that you would have to police if you were the shooter. What they are saying he was standing on a balcony so probably some of it fell to the ground. In this case, the efer is dead so evidence like this does not matter to him only the MSM to use.
You hearing it too?
Given the distance and the number of casualties, I am skeptical that this could have been 5.56 mm. I was thinking 7.62 mm (or larger caliber).
That is still considered middle age.
Eight guns.
Most simple explaination, a leftist Trump hater. To the left country music=Trump supporters=Nazi/white supremecists who should be killed.
As soon as I heard about this, that was my immediate conclusion.
From Danleys FB acct. “Thanks …That was taken at Wiltshire Roof Top Restaurant in L.A.” In 2016, she wrote in the comment thread under a photo, “…Kuha Sa Jumeira Beach, Dubai.” She also wrote under that photo, “That’s a beautiful City except it’s hot. Will be back there next year to visit my niece.”
“I’m 74 and just entering old-age.”
I’m 73 and I ain’t havin’ none o’ that old age stuff, don’t go in that door!
Lots of rumors that he was associated with Antifa, but still looking for hard confirmation.
According to posters on ZeroHedge, his girlfriend holds Australian citizenship, but she is an Indonesian Muslim.
Also, the woman (Marilou Danley) is said to have been married to a moveon.org extremist before she hooked up with this mass murderer.
Marilou was married to far left extremist Geary Danley (fan of moveon.org, dailykos, Al Franken, etc on his facebook), then divorced him and married another far left extremist, who was the shooter, Stephen C Paddock.

So unless Paddock was a patsy, left holding the bag as a distraction while Samir made his getaway, then I’d hold off on the Islam connection for now. Deranged Lefty in the same vein as the Scalise shooter seems likely enough for now."
Not retracted at time of this post:
Israel National News:
According to an unofficial report from Reshet Bet, the Las Vegas shooter's name is Samir al-Hajib.is an American who converted to Islam at the age of 30 and lives in Las Vegas.
13:27 Las Vegas gunman identified as 64-year-old Mesquite, NV man
I thought it was a scar at first.
Here is another picture of her. She looks 63.
Looks like he is a sloven loser. Didn’t bother to shave nor button his collar. Is there a Koran in his past, of and antifa connection?
possibly. But the sheriff said in one of his press conferences that he was “well known” to local law enforcement.
