Mass shooting in Vegas

(1/7) > >>

Tolpuddle Martyr:
This fucking awful thing just happened.


--- Quote ---
* More than 20 people have been killed and well in excess of 100 were injured when a “lone wolf” gunman fired multiple shots at the Route 91 Harvest country music festival from a hotel overlooking the event. Two of those killed were off-duty police officers.
* The only suspect, whose motives are unknown, was killed by police. A Swat team used a controlled explosion to enter his hotel room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel and casino.
* Police are searching for the suspect’s companion, Marilou Danley. She is wanted for questioning and is described as a person of interest.
* Jason Aldean, the country music star who was performing when the shooting took place, described the scene as “beyond horrific”. He said he and his crew were safe, but added: “It hurts my heart that this would happen to anyone who was just coming out to enjoy what should have been a fun night.”
* Concertgoers reported seeing muzzle flashes from the upper floors of the Mandalay Bay hotel and several videos of the aftermath show hundreds of people fleeing in panic as the gunfire continued. Around 40,000 people were attending the festival.
* Some flights have resumed at the city’s McCarran International airport after all planes were temporarily grounded on Sunday evening

ironbite:
As of today, 50 people dead, 200+ injured, suspect is dead, 64 years old, and most importantly, white.

Ironbite-also this caused the Orange Piss Pot to actually be human so that's a plus.

Eiki-mun:
It's probably terrible of me to think, but I'll admit that my first thought upon hearing this was "eh, this is America, these things happen".

clockworkgirl21:
I've never in my life been surprised to hear of a mass shooting. Even the one that was within 20 miles of me several years ago only made me raise an eyebrow.

It's what happens when you live in a country of gun nuts I guess.

I'd say my thoughts, good feelings, and all of that go to the victims but it doesn't make any difference.

Askold:
And now Alex Jones and others are claiming that this was a false flag attack...
