Horrific scene in Vegas at Harvestfest at the end of Jason Aldeans performance

Struggling to process this one. Guy was shooting a high powered rifle out the window of Mandalay Bay 30something floor into a crowd across the street. I've stayed at that hotel. Would have had to reload multiple times and basically have an arsenal there. Deadliest mass shooting we've had yet, surpassing Pulse.

WHy is it so hard for us to keep guns out of the hands of mentally ill people?

At least 8 guns and a number of long rifles found in his hotel room.

Largest massacre in US history. 50+ dead and likely counting.

God

Over 500 wounded, 50 dead. Hundreds of rounds.

Very clear from the video that was shown on WGN earlier that these were fully automatic weapons.

How did he get access outside? Did he break a window?

Broke the window in his room.

We were playing blackjack at the Aria. People started getting reports of an active shooter at the Mandalay on their phone, but everyone was still just playing, business as usual. Then there were a couple of banging loud noises and everyone went crazy. The dealers ran away, we started hiding under the card tables until we thought it was safe enough to sneak to the elevators and go upstairs, it was messed up.

That was my first thought. Then, I was like, this asshole just killed 50 people. I don't think he cares about breaking a window.

Glad you're safe.

f*** this dude.

 

The videos and accounts of this terror attack are just crazy.

Damn man, glad you are safe.

 

Any idea on what the banging noises were? Wouldn't imagine that the gunshots would be heard audibly in the Aria casino.

Glad you're safe.

Seriously.

 

 

I hope the thoughts and prayers offered by the politicians today make everyone feel better

Just saw a flash across Bloomberg that ISIS is claiming credit and saying that the shooter had just converted to Islam in the last couple of months... but also noting that ISIS likes to make stuff like this up in an attempt to claim credit for attacks.

They claim everything, so far no evidence that its legit.

ISIS claims lots of bulls*** and I can't believe AP just sort of credulously reported that claim

iamshack declared himself safe on FB, so that is also good news

Is that two broken windows?

Seems difficult to believe a guy with this profile would suddenly convert to Islam and join up with ISIS in his 60's. Plus ISIS, as others noted, claims all manner of stuff they didn't do. But it's not impossible I suppose.

The fact that he is 64 years old and has no criminal record at all is already a big overcoming of the typical odds in profile of this type of shooter.
