Full tittle : “Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago”: Islamic State claims responsibility for attack
"The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition. The Las Vegas attacker converted to Islam a few months ago.”
“Las Vegas Shootout Live: 50 Killed, ISIS Claims Responsibility,” The Quint, October 2, 2017 (thanks to Yaakov):
An active shooter fired at an outdoor concert crowd in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Casino area. At least 50 people died and 400 were injured in the shooting, that was later claimed by ISIS. The roads leading to the Vegas strip were shut by the police. The gunman was shot down at the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel. The Nevada sheriff identified Stephen Paddock as the suspected gunman in Las Vegas shootout.
Islamic State has claimed responsibility for a shooting that killed at least 50 people and wounded over 400 in Las Vegas early on Monday, and said the attacker had converted to Islam a few months ago.
“The Las Vegas attack was carried out by a soldier of the Islamic State and he carried it out in response to calls to target states of the coalition,” the group’s news agency Amaq said in reference to the US-led coalition fighting the group in the Middle East.

Most of that country is mussie. Do we have a Mata Hari?
My 14 year old son mentioned the possibility of a 3D printed weapon this morning, is this really a possibility?
[[I’m new to this story. I just woke up. What happened to the shooter? Is he in custody, dead? Did he jump out the window? What is the broken window with the curtains waving in the wind in the skyscraper? The news says nothing about what is going on with the shooter?]]
Shooter shot out the window to fire on the concert .
Shooter killed himself/or died as law enforcement came into the room . He is dead . They were looking for an Asian woman last night but I don’t know what she has to do with it .
you dont have to print the entire weapon, only the part that converts a semi to auto.
Not surprised.
ANTIFA and Islam are cohoots.
Not buying it, this was a radial ANTIFA leftist hit on Trump voters. Mark my words.

That is increasingly becoming synonymous.It was a leftist muslim who radicalized Kaepernick. Both groups hate America and use each other for their own purposes. They will turn on each other at the proper time
ISIS has been claiming "credit" for just about every mass murder on American and European soil. By doing so, they trick people into believing that they are much larger, more powerful, and influential organization than they really are. Whether or not Paddock really was a convert to Islam and a believer in the jihad cause, I doubt that ISIS had anything to do with this (just as ISIS didn't mastermind the Orlando shooting).
yep, agree.
not to be a pain in the fanny, but this likely was meticulously planned.
The concert, I believe, had been sold out for months. This is why the victim list will include a wide geographic area. Moreover, this would have necessitated blocks of hotel rooms dedicated to these concertgoers very close to the venue.
I’m wondering how someone could have secured a room so close to the venue, under these circumstances, without a lot of planning ahead of time. Some stories suggest this scumbag was using two rooms, but we don’t know this yet.
A young lady I work with attends a bunch of these weekend long concerts that are common in LV. And I sure am worried about her right now.
At least 24 hours... most likely a lot longer.
Last night on a blog, i read elsewhere that somebody found on girlfriends facebook page she had recently traveled to Dubai. I just assumed fake news, but can anybody confirm. ?
Jason Aldean’s average fan is a 28 year old dental hygienist named Denise.
He’s not exactly Hank Williams, Jr.
Possible. She is Filipino. They have a lot of problems with Moslems there
Not buying it... ISIS looking for propaganda
Wow....you mentioned to tie our entire current enemies list into this.
That was impressive to say the least.
“Not buying it, this was a radial ANTIFA leftist hit on Trump voters. Mark my words.”
I think you may be right. What about the woman who said another woman told her ‘you’re all going to die tonight’ about 45 minutes before the shooting? The ‘authorities’ and the media are going to have to work overtime to sweep all the inconvenient facts under the rug.
Thank you. Nightmare in Vegas.
Not only that, but he built platforms to fire off of to get a better angle. This has been planned for a long, long time.
The few reliable facts about Paddock that I’ve seen point to disgruntled nutjob that finally snapped (there’s another thread about Paddock recently filing what looks like a trumped-up law suit against a Vegas Casino) rather than a jihadi true believer.
