This is breaking news now. Apparently it's really bad there are several shooters. First they fired at a country music festival outside the hotel, apparently now they went into the hotel. A Cirque show was mentioned on a forum. That would be the MJ ONE Show...

Horrifying news. The shooter was firing from a room on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay, has been taken down. There are lots of rumours about additional threats (potential shooter at the Mirage, potential car bomb at the Luxor hotel), but nothing that has been confirmed.

Scary news. Although not sure this belongs in the MJ section?

Insanity, sounds like Al Kracka rather than Al Qaeda. And yes what does shooting at a Kenny Chesney concert have to do with Michael Jackson, us foreigners are always saying you Americans are too lax with your gun laws, so all these loonies and drongos have guns and are shooting up the place.

50, horrible... I guess there were bound to be way more deaths than initially reported, he was spraying bullet after bullet into a massive crowd from the window on one of the upper floors. So horrible...
Police identified the shooter as 64-year old Stephen Paddock. A woman who was traveling with him has now been taken into custody. Police is treating it as a lone wolf attack. Rumours about other incidents turned out to not be true, or to be false alarms (thankfully).

This is unbelievable. That man murdered people non stop for five minutes, raining bullets on them. I am really fucking glad he's dead. I hope everything's fine with everyone in this forum. Yeah, innuendo141, it's kinda the same with me, been on the phone ever since I heard the news.
My sincere condolences to those who lost their loved ones. My uncle lives in Vegas and I hope the best.

ISIS of course claimed responsibility, which they usually do for anything horrific.

Of course, the NRA will come out with their 'Guns don't kill people, people do' bollocks and still nothing will get to done to change gun laws.

Such an horrific tragedy! How many people will have to die for the government to do something about guns' regulation and not selling them to any deranged psychopath.
