Mass shooting in Las Vegas

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

OK, we know it’s an emotional situation, but keep in mind our rules about politics.

The woman who was a perosn of interest is now believed not to be involved in the shooting.

If it's the lady whose picture I saw I'm surprised, I was SURE she was about to be thrown under the jail.

Even scarier if ONE person was capable of doing this.

It's being said the piece of shit had two platforms set up to shoot from, around 8 guns and a camera set up to see when the cops were approaching. This bastard did his homework. Hope he's burning.

These shootings are out of control now, why do idiots do this? How did this moron get all that stuff into the hotel, the elevator, etc...

My wife and I love Vegas, we've been there several times and got married there, we stay at Mandalay Bay every time too, it's our favorite hotel in Vegas. So sad, praying for all affected.

If this was in my area, I'm sure my sister would have been at the event. She loves this kind of music. My heart is pounding and I am shaking of this news.

It'll just continue. In a few years, we may have an even worse tragedy

The sheriff is briefing right now.

Female interest was apparently out of the country at the time...Shooter had at least 10 guns in the hotel room...shooter is believed to have commited suicide before police entry.

50+ confirmed dead, 400+ injured.

Apparently the gun that the attacker used has been banned since 1986

Just saying that for the people on social medias who are calling for certain things about guns, and that it wouldn't have made a difference, he got that weapon through illegal means anyway.

My brother used to live in Vegas when he was younger so it hits a bit closer to home for me, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has to personally deal with this...

I’m too filled with horror over the scope of the tragedy. I’m more filled with rage that it has happened again. And troubled that, within a week, we will have moved on and learned and done nothing until it happens again.

[Mochi Lone Wolf]

Looks as if they're searching the prick's house now.

I can only hope that the injured will survive and recover at this point.

I've heard several people say a woman was ejected from the concert earlier in the evening for shouting "you're all going to die!"

Been traveling all morning... this confirmed ?

Hoax, apparently. The woman that was alleged to have done that wasn't even in the country

List of hoaxes so far, from the news portion of Buzzfeed. Last one is the one about the woman.

If there's anything more disgusting about a tragedy than this than the actual act itself, its people that spread hoaxes like this.

Mesquite, Nevada are doing a briefing right now about their search of the shooter's home.

Haven't seen confirmation of the weapons used, but I think the way it works is that there is a registry for fully automatic weapons and the sale of them was banned after that year, but the guns from before that were grandfathered in. You can still buy them, but they command a HUGE premium.

It feels like every day we wake up here in the USA, were at risk of being murdered in a massacre. Makes me wanna hide in my house and never come back outside

We actually have it better than a lot of places. The stuff I see happen in Europe, I don't have the guts to live there.

While I'm already upset about this, I'm even more pissed that people use this to push an agenda when there's no need for one. I see a pretty disgusting and inaccurate tweet as one of the first things I search for when I'm googling the story.

This isn't the place or the time.

Don’t let it get to you. You have more chance of being hit by a drunk driver. Not that this is exactly a good thing.

For my part my thoughts go out to the victims, but I need to be honest that I am amazed Vegas does not have a greater history of this kind of thing. Never mind the city’s history with organized crime, there is the simple fact that it is a place where people get desperate on a regular basis, and desperate people do crazy things. Maybe it actually bespeaks something positive that Sin City does not have much worse vice happening.

[The Thread Barbi]

I hope no one here is personally affected. Thoughts with those affected.

[Cyno]

I'm still absorbing the news of what happened. It's awful what happened and my thoughts go out to the families of the victims who didn't make it and the injured.
