Stuge Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) A gunman firing from a Las Vegas hotel rained a rapid-fire barrage on a huge outdoor concert festival on Sunday night, sending thousands of people fleeing until SWAT units found and killed him. More than 50 victims died, and at least 200 others were wounded, officials said, making it one of the deadliest mass shootings in United States history. Online video of the attack outside the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino showed the country singer Jason Aldean performing outside at the Route 91 Harvest Festival, a three-day country music event, interrupted by the sound of automatic gunfire. The music stopped, and concertgoers ducked for cover. “Get down,” one shouted. “Stay down,” screamed another. Tending to the wounded outside the festival ground. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/10/02/us/las-vegas-shooting.html Edited October 2, 2017 by Stuge Laaloo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maniac Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Apparently the shooters dad was a notorious bank robber who made it to the FBI Top 10 most wanted lists back in the 60s even though looks like the shooter and his family lived a normal life for the most part.

His dad has nothing to do with this case (he died in 1998) ...Even though they are just facts . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No new law or anything to curb/avoid its repetition, because perpetrator is white and non Muslim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechEng Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yesterday a white dude was caught in my college campus carrying a rifle in his bag by the cops, later it was known that it was a BB gun. Still being in Texas (the best place for guns), I should start being careful, there are even bizarre laws where carrying a samurai sword is legal.
