Was the venue a firearm free venue?
Very surprised there were no open or concealed carry good guys with a firearm to stop the attack.

How can you fire back? You’d be blindly shooting into hotel rooms from very far away.

Put down the crack pipe. Handgun takes out auto weapon fire from hundreds of yards?

By my estimate he was 6-700 yards away, and on the 32d floor. A pistol isn’t going to cut it at that range. If he was in a prone firing position, the chance of spotting and hitting him would be nil even with a scoped rifle, especially at night.

The shooter was on the 32nd floor, so...

Shirley, you can't be series? How is a personal sidearm going to do anything against a rifle in the upper window of an overlooking hotel?

Shooter was 300+ ft up (32nd floor) and 400+ meters away, reportedly. Handguns were useless unless you could get to his room, which no one in the concert crowd had any prayer of doing.
