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.

Sometimes it’s good to “brainstorm” or put on paper the earliest impressions, as then when things completely change later you can look back and wonder why, what, where, etc. Sometimes the earliest quotes can come back to haunt people, i.e. Benghazi. What’s being said can incriminate liars later when they have to change their story.

So, connecting the thread dots, the brother said the woman was not involved meaning the wife who was apparently out of the country. The shooter had a girlfriend who apparently was an Indonesian Muslim and was apparently heavily involved.

Just ran into this twitter from that hateful moron Letterman:

“This is what Trump’s America wants! Racism ends when white privilege ends.”

FUDL. You want to whine about “white privilege”? Give up your mansion and your millions and go live under a bridge, jerk.

How that idiot can even tie the SJW made up issue of “White Privilege” to an event like this is idiotic. White People were those targeted.

It’s not like this was a rap concert.

What’s that...a 13 on his neck?

Anyone that had a “13” tattooed on the front of their neck probably had some connection with Satan or the occult.

>>Read through another article and understood shooter was shooting down on a ground venue from pretty high up in the hotel.

The shooter was on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay per the LVMPD briefing.

Anyone who took the time and effort to master an advanced skill might not like Trump or people who vote for him, but that’s not the definition of “snowflake”. The snowflakes are the ones physically attacking people, and they might be getting more rabid and violent, but that doesn’t make them IT technicians, or four-star generals. More like the aforementioned poodles off their meds.

the entire legacy media gives the vibe of selective and delayed reporting.

the legacy media is desperately trying to get the DNC talking points into play.

Sixty four is not old age, not by a long shot

64 is the new 45

I do not feel 45 and now with Obamacare, I don't feel comfortable about 65.

Gonna be interesting as facts start to coalesce - the Left will be in full denial mode as they go all-in blaming trump and his supporters.

Sheesh. Ease up there Drew. Whenever these stories are breaking, there is a lot of info, some of it good, and some not. That is why I qualified my posts.

It's just that people are in such a hurry to post every unsubstantiated rumor and then when the facts come out and none of it is true, these same people scream conspiracy and coverup.

I didn't mean to single out you. There's a lot of stupid crap getting posted right now from people who seem desperate to link this to some leftist, anti-Trump movement.
